Certified Scrum Product Owner Training (CSPO) Bangalore, India-August 29-30 '2011

Certified Scrum Product Owner

Agile Requirements Using Innovation Games®

All CSPO courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSPO course and the corresponding evaluation designates you as a Certified Scrum Product Owner, which indicates that you have been introduced to the basic concepts you need to perform as a Product Owner or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.

Course Overview
Path-finding Internet-era companies have shown the way to rapid innovation and dominance in their market spaces. Following their lead, many organizations are adopting Agile approaches to improve their software development capability. This 2-day course provides a great foundation for anyone adopting Scrum, the most popular Agile framework. Scrum is a deceptively simple framework and you will quickly learn about its roles, artefacts and process. However, its adaptive nature and impact on traditional organizational models and ways of working requires a fundamental grasp of the underlying principles for a truly successful implementation. We put theory into practice in a number of exercises and simulations which are both enjoyable and instructive.

Specific Requirements Focus
Like the other role-specific training programs authorized by the Scrum Alliance, this class will include specific content on the role of the Product Owner. This entails the common challenges such as: 

• Designing your product plan to maximize business value & time to market
• How to write requirements in an agile fashion
• Balancing the competing interest of many stakeholders
• Working in a globaly distributed implementation team

Innovation Games®
This course will also provide a deep-dive in the modern product innovation method, Innovation Games. Innovation Games are a collection of qualitative research and problem solving techniques, based on the collaborative facilitation of customers, colleagues, partners and the community at large. The techniques include both open ended and more focused methods for achieving actionable insights and results.

Audience
Despite its name, this course is not just for Product Owners or Product Managers; it is an effective primer for anyone who will be closely involved with agile teams adopting the Scrum method. This includes Project & Program Managers, Product Owners, Business Owners, Requirements Analysts, IT managers, and Senior Developers.

Certification
Students who have satisfactorily completed the course, and have paid their fees in full, are eligible to be designated as Certified Scrum Product Owners.
