Description

Our interactive Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) training will challenge you to put theory into practice through a variety of exercises and simulations, and to think through your own product ideas for yourself. As well as learning a range of techniques you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of Scrum and agile principles – not just the how but the why.
