PeopleCert Scrum Product Owner I is designed for all professionals who wish to understand the Scrum Framework and the role of the Product Owner.

Course Introduction

PeopleCert Scrum Master I (14-16 training hours) – Candidates will understand the Scrum framework and why it is needed by organizations today, learn the characteristics of effective Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Developers, and discover the practices, processes, and technology used for adapting Scrum within an organization.

Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. It increases team productivity by encouraging team players to learn through experiences, self-organize, and continuously improve.

Design and Deliver Awesome Products

Scrum is a lightweight framework that enables teams and organizations to design, develop, and deliver better products faster while adapting to external changes.

Scrum originated in Software Development and IT, where it was used to deliver high-quality and complex software products. Today, Scrum is adapted across multiple business functions (operations, security, marketing, sales, HR, etc.) making it an ideal enabler for agile transformation initiatives.

The Scrum Product Owner Role

Within a Scrum team, the Product Owner serves as the link between the Scrum Team and the Business or Customer, and his primary focus is to communicate the product vision and strategy while ensuring it remains aligned to business goals.

The Product Owner achieves these by helping everyone understand the vision and strategy, the product’s value proposition, and the business goals it will achieve, and by directing, prioritizing, and collecting feedback.

Core Skills 

Why should you get PCSPO I certified?

Although Scrum is lightweight and easy to understand, it is very hard to master. Today, 81% of organizations use Scrum (66%) or a Scrum hybrid (15%) as they have embraced agility, but only 16% report that their agile maturity is above average. This creates an urgency for up- and re-skilling, to match the need.

Becoming a PCSPO I certified professional will help you prove your skills and stand out from the crowd.
