Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)
Overview
Scrum is an agile project management method that focuses upon short, focused work periods called “Sprints.” As a Product Owner it is very important to learn how to work with your team & stakeholders to identify the business benefits to prioritize, understand customers & end-users and creating the product backlog which further leads to managing the backlog efficiently.
