CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) Training with the Scrum Alliance

We begin with data gathering from the group, taking the pulse of the needs from our attendees. Heat maps, leadership surveys and effective user interview techniques are used to pinpoint the pain points of Product Ownership felt by the group to create a safe space for exploration.

Design Thinking techniques are then used to ideate and prototype, validate, and test your assumptions. We’ll have our first go at pitching a vision quite early here on day one!

After a break, we’ll have a Scrum Chalk Talk to cover the basics of Scrum and end the day with a 59 minute micro-scrum exercise.

Then we’ll be shifting focus to learn about Change Agent tools to help with eradicating organizational blockers enabling Agile product development. Anything that is our current impediment to delivering in a lean and Agile fashion is fair game for us to tackle here.

We’ll also be practicing Scrum, actively learning by doing to experience roles, artifacts, team dynamics, and the flow of product development.

We’ll have the opportunity to do full product development, from Product Discovery and Visioning through to Delivery.

We will be “learning by doing” covering the following topics:

• Practical Product Discovery tools and Visioning.
• User Story Mapping with just-right User Stories.
• Effectively plan your Releases
• Explore Value-Driven Development in your Sprints
• Experience the power of the Agile Manifesto, making sense of values and principles in a retrospective.

"This goes well beyond just another PMP or Scrum course"

Previous attendees have included everyone from 10-year Product veterans to those working with a development team for the first time, and even HR professionals supporting Agile practices.

Ideally you are currently working with a product development team, or want to, and are familiar with the basics of Lean and Agile product development. If you are just getting started in this area, you will be provided a bit of pre-work to help you catch up with a number of the concepts being explored during the workshop.

We are committed to supporting an environment that fosters dignity and respect for all participants, regardless of gender, race, disability, or political affiliation. During each event, participants must keep communications professional and supportive of the learning environment. We reserve the right to remove from any event a participant deemed by the facilitator whose actions disrupt the learning environment.
