    The Product Ownership Skills You Will Build

    Capabilities for Agile Product Teams

    This CSPO course builds the product ownership skills that Scrum teams rely on. By the end you can set a product vision, manage a backlog, engage stakeholders and plan releases with confidence.

    Apply Scrum Theory to Product Decisions

    Use empiricism, the three pillars and Scrum values to make transparent product choices and adapt direction as you learn, the foundation every effective product owner relies on.

    Own the Product Owner Accountability

    Understand how the Product Owner is the single person accountable for maximising value, how the role differs from project and product management, and how to work with the Scrum Team.

    Craft Product Vision and Product Goal

    Define a compelling product vision and a clear Product Goal that acts as the north star for Sprints, and build a roadmap that guides the team toward real outcomes.

    Manage and Order the Product Backlog

    Create, refine and order a healthy backlog using user stories, INVEST criteria and prioritisation techniques so the team always works on the most valuable items next.

    Engage Stakeholders and Maximise Value

    Identify stakeholders, gather feedback through Sprint Reviews and customer discovery, and turn competing demands into evidence-based product decisions that maximise value.

    Plan Releases and Forecast Delivery

    Use velocity-based forecasting, MVP and incremental delivery thinking to plan releases and communicate honest, transparent timelines to stakeholders.
