Questions about the Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner®
This is an advanced course for Certified Scrum Product Owners® who have already been in this role for one year and would like to further increase their impact. The focus is on deepening all areas of the Product Owner's work.
First of all, passion, willingness to learn and a positive attitude. But there are also actual prerequisites for the certification. While any inclined Product Owner can take the course, the Scrum Alliance certification is only available if you have the following prerequisites:
- an existing valid Certified Scrum Product Owner®. Unfortunately, certifications from other providers are not recognized by the Scrum Alliance. We will be happy to advise you on how to join or switch.
- one year of practice in the role of Product Owner. We are also happy to advise you personally on this. You can attend the course before the end of the year. In this case, you will receive the certification later after the course.
- self-directed content preparation in our learning management system.
- attendance of the corresponding course as on-site or live online.
- The participation in at least one focus topic webinar and one application practice webinar.
While it is sufficient for the CSPO to be able to reproduce certain concepts, in the A-CSPO more application competencies are taught and tested.
