3Back’s Certified Scrum Product Owner training offers a comprehensive dive into Product Ownership in a Scrum environment.

Through lectures, activities, and simulations, you’ll gain the essentials of leading an Agile project.

Our CSM and CSPO classes assume basic Scrum knowledge. If you need a foundation, we recommend taking our Mechanics of Scrum course.

Our CSM and CSPO classes feature guided exercises—typically 15 minutes or less—with immediate application and instructor-led discussions. Additionally, exercises and questions are included to reinforce learning objectives for your foundational course.

Dan was my Scrum Cert instructor last month. I had not been previously exposed to Scrum or Agile. He made the class relatable, and effortlessly easy to understand the material. Highly recommend!
– Nastassia
The instructor understood the difference between getting certified and being skillful. The approach to the class was geared to make you think about why and how to approach things, kept the entire class engaged, and did a great job keeping the environment fun and funny. Great experience. Thanks, Doug.
– Randy
I took the CSPO training class with Doug – The class was fantastic, but the real value is the way in which Doug brings the material to life through experience. The training materials serve as a great reference for learning the concepts. Doug allows for class discussion and reflection on each person’s current work experience to add flavor to the experience. If you need Scrum training, go 3Back.
– Chris
As an inexperienced member of a Scrum Team, that is practicing Scrum, I found this course really helpful in providing me the foundation needed to further grow into a Product Ownership (Product Champion) role. I’ve been able to spot changes that I will be able to recommend to the team.
Great courses. Lots of info. Have learned actual meaning of some of the terminology, will be able to translate this to better use of my Teams.

Additional Details for Certified Scrum Product Owner

So, you want to learn about Agile Project Management. But is training truly worth it? After all, isn’t ‘Product Owner’ just another term for ‘Product Manager’? And what can training offer that simply reading a few books can’t? More importantly, can this training help solve the Product Owner dilemma? Remember, although a good ScrumMaster is crucial for successful Scrum implementation, the role of the Product Owner is equally vital, even if less emphasized. Therefore, Scrum Product Owner training is ideal for anyone managing rapidly changing demands and decision-making in a corporate structure.

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.

What Industries Use Scrum?

The most popular use of Scrum is for software development across a wide variety of industries, such as financial services, insurance, education, information technology, government programs, and supply chain management. However, Scrum extends far beyond software development! In fact, we’ve worked with organizations and individuals who have successfully applied Scrum to areas like graphic design, wedding planning, data warehousing, consulting, classroom projects, household management, auto salvage yards, and more. Therefore, Scrum is suitable for almost any complex project with rapidly changing or emergent requirements, regardless of the industry.
