3Back’s Certified Scrum Product Owner training provides a comprehensive look at Product Ownership in the Scrum environment. Learn the mechanics of routine activities, such as managing the Backlog, as well as enterprise-level concerns, such as strategic visioning with Scrum, managing multiple projects per Team, and managing single projects that span multiple Teams. Through a combination of lectures, activities, and simulation, students will learn the fundamentals of leading an agile project.
Our CSM and CSPO classes assume the student has a basic knowledge of Scrum. If you are concerned, view the Scrum Alliance Foundations videos here.
Our training method has three parts. There are many modules, and each module involves reading, interaction with other students, and discussions with the instructor. The total times spent are approximately 4 hours reading, 3 hours discussion with other students, and 7 hours in interaction with the instructor. If you are not comfortable with this style of learning, our courses are not for you.
THE 3BACK DIFFERENCE
WHAT YOU GET
We’ll cover your Scrum Alliance membership dues and certification for the first 2 years.

3Back trainers don’t just teach Scrum; they have a combined 46 years of working on and with Scrum teams. They are authors of the Exploring Scrum: The Fundamentals, the Scrum Study Guide and the agile tool Get To Done®, as well as world-renowned conference speakers.
Even with heightened engagement, most of us only retain a fraction of what we learn. That’s why 3Back provides you with the option to retake our class. Whether you’re looking for another trainer’s perspective or just want to refresh your knowledge, you can do so within six months at no cost. More details at can be found in our policies.

CERTIFIED SCRUM PRODUCT OWNER TRAINING
So you want to learn Scrum. But is training really worth it?
What can training give you that reading a few books can’t?
TIME = MONEY
Transforming your team or organization to a new methodology is a big undertaking. Organized training will give you the kickstart you need and save you valuable time otherwise wasted on costly trial and error.
INCREASED RETENTION
Studies show that when learners “do and say,” they experience an increase of knowledge retention up to 80% over reading alone.
BUILD SKILL, NOT JUST KNOWLEDGE
Books and blogs are good knowledge resources. Skill, however, is acquired by doing. There is simply no replacement for the skill building that occurs with hands-on activities and real-life simulations.
There is no right or wrong person to attend this training. In fact, the most successful agile adoptions have included training for everyone, right down to Finance and Sales staff. Scrum training is especially appropriate for anyone in the corporate structure dealing with rapidly changing demands. In a traditional organization, these roles might include:
Developers
Program Managers
Designers
Stakeholders
Testers
CXOs
Technical Writers
Analysts
Directors
Architects
SMEs
QA Staff
Project Managers
Coders
Product Managers
Engineers
WHAT INDUSTRIES
USE SCRUM?
The most popular use of Scrum is for software development in a wide variety of industries, including financial services, insurance, education, information technology, government programs and supply chain management. But Scrum goes beyond software development! We’ve known organizations and individuals who have used Scrum for graphic design, wedding planning, data warehousing, consulting, classroom projects, household management, auto salvage yards and much more. Scrum is appropriate for almost any complex project with rapidly changing or emergent requirements, regardless of the industry.
