Description
Online Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) Course — Real Product Work, Real Outcomes
The CSPO course goes beyond the role, giving you the Product Operating Model, AI tools, and hands-on practice to run your product from idea to value.
|
Format: Live online via Zoom + Mural, fully interactive Duration: 2 days (9:00–17:00 GMT, 1 hour lunch) |
Exam: None — certification via full participation Experience needed: None — all backgrounds welcome |
Most CSPO courses teach you the role. Ours teaches you how to run the product. The Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) is a globally recognised Scrum Alliance certification — but what makes this course different is what happens around it: a proven Product Operating Model, hands-on AI tools practice, and two full days working with your actual product from idea to value delivery.
Our trainers coach product teams in the field every week. What you learn here is what they apply every day, not textbook theory dusted off for a certification class. You’ll leave with a credential, a practical toolkit, and the confidence to lead.
Competitors like TCC list this course at £795 and put it “on sale” for £300, the same standard Scrum Alliance boilerplate every time. Holistic Agility offers a compressed half-day format for £495. ScrumCenter deliver a high-quality course for £595. At £275 + VAT, our introductory price honestly undercuts every one of them without cutting a single thing from the content.
While Others Teach You the Role, We Give You the Operating Model
 |
Most CSPO courses stop at teaching you how to write a user story. Ours gives you a proven, freely usable Product Operating Model — a separate framework that works alongside any agile approach, including Scrum. You leave knowing not just what a Product Owner does, but how to design and run a product operation that actually delivers value. |
 |
AI won’t replace Product Owners, but Product Owners who use AI will replace those who don’t. This course integrates practical AI tools into product strategy, backlog management, and decision-making. You’ll leave with hands-on experience that other CSPO graduates won’t have. |

How Does the Online CSPO® Course Work?
Your Product Is the Classroom — Full Lifecycle, from Idea to ValueDelivered via Zoom and Mural, this fully interactive 2-day workshop is designed to engage participants. Unlike courses that use generic case studies, we work with your real product throughout. You’ll develop a product strategy, build a vision and value proposition, create an outcome roadmap, and apply the Product Operating Model to your actual context — not a hypothetical. By the end of day two, you’ll have taken your product through the entire lifecycle from idea to value delivery. |
AI Tools Integrated ThroughoutWe integrate AI tools directly into product strategy, backlog management, and decision-making throughout the course. You’ll practise using tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot for real product challenges — not as a bolt-on module, but as a running thread across both days. You’ll leave with practical AI skills other CSPO graduates won’t have. |
Your Questions Answered — GuaranteedAsk any Scrum, Agile, or Product question during the course — we guarantee you’ll get the answers you need. Our trainers coach product teams in the field every week, so nothing is theoretical. If we can’t answer all your questions, we’ll refund your money. |
Who Is This Course For?
Anyone with a stake in product development can benefit from this course. Product Owners do far more than order the backlog — they shape vision, drive strategy, and connect development to customer value. If that’s your world, or the world you want to move into, this course is for you.
Current and aspiring Product Owners and Product Managers looking to formalise their practice with a globally recognised credential and a practical operating framework.
Scrum Masters who want to deepen their understanding of the product side and better support their Product Owners.
Developers, Analysts, Engineers, Testers, and UX Designers who want to understand the full picture of how their work connects to product strategy and customer outcomes.
Organisational leaders, managers, directors, and executives who sponsor or oversee product development and want to lead more effectively.
Coaches, trainers, and business stakeholders who support agile product teams and want to advise clients on effective product management practices.
Course Topics: Your Path to Product Ownership Mastery
The CSPO course is built around three interconnected areas that take you from strategic thinking through to hands-on practice. Everything is applied to your actual product — not hypothetical scenarios.
Product Strategy — How to develop and execute an effective product strategy that supports your product vision, goals, and customer value. This is a practical strategy, not an abstract framework.
Product Operating Model — A proven, open-source model for end-to-end product development. Not Scrum resold — a separate operating framework compatible with any agile approach, including Scrum.
AI for Product Ownership — Practical AI integration for product management: driving innovation, optimising decision-making, improving customer experiences, and enhancing backlog prioritisation
Throughout both days, you will also cover: product vision and value propositions; outcome roadmaps; agile mindset and values; the Scrum framework in depth; backlog management and prioritisation discovery work; and how to align product strategy with business goals.
Participants leave knowing how to apply Scrum to products of all sizes — from a single collocated team to a large, distributed team — with a practical operating model they can use starting the following Monday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior Agile or Scrum experience?
No. This course is designed for everyone — whether you’re entirely new to agile product development or looking to build on existing knowledge. All you need is a willingness to learn and participate in interactive exercises. Bring a product you work with or care about, and we’ll work with it throughout the two days.
Is there an exam, and how do I get certified?
No exam. To earn your CSPO®, you must attend and participate fully across both days with your webcam on. After the course, you’ll be recommended to the Scrum Alliance, which will ask you to accept the CSPO® License Agreement and complete your Scrum Alliance membership profile. Your certification is activated only after the agreement is accepted — so make sure you complete this step promptly after the course.
How should I prepare?
Come with an open mind and a product you’d like to work on — real or aspirational. Before the course, sign up for a free AI tool (such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot), Zoom, and Mural, as we use all three throughout the course. Ensure you have a stable internet connection; a second monitor is helpful but not required.
How many people will be in the class?
We deliberately keep class sizes small to ensure genuine interaction with your trainer and fellow learners. You won’t be a passive attendee in a large webinar — you’ll be in a working group that your trainer can engage with directly throughout both days.
Are the sessions recorded?
No. The course is fully live and interactive — breakout rooms, group exercises, and real-time discussion are central to the learning. The Scrum Alliance requires full attendance across both days for certification.
What software do I need?
You’ll need the latest Zoom desktop application (not the web or mobile version), a browser for Mural, and a free AI tool such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot. You’ll also need a stable internet connection and a working webcam and microphone. Cameras must stay on during the course.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase, provided your CSPO® certification has not yet been issued. If your schedule changes, you can transfer your booking to a future class at no extra cost — just let us know at least 5 working days before the course starts.
Can my employer pay, or can I get an invoice?
Yes. Select “Pay by Bank Transfer” at checkout, and an invoice will be generated automatically. Payment must be received before joining instructions are sent. For larger corporate bookings or bespoke requirements, please get in touch with us at talk@agileaffinity.com.
