Course Description
The Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) training is an introduction into the world of Agile and Scrum from the perspective of the Product Owner. The CSPO covers every aspect of product ownership from working with stakeholders to define the product vision, to defining the release objective and to creating the product backlog items in preparation for sprint planning with the delivery team.
Applying the Scrum framework requires changing our habits and our intuitive way of working. As a Product Owner, it also means changing how we communicate with and work with stakeholders. IncrementOne’s interactive classes, whether online or in-person, are built around a simulation exercise in which you, the attendees, work together on a team to define a new product. You will discover how Scrum works through direct experience, making mistakes and learning from those mistakes in a safe environment.
Our classes are designed to maximize engagement, understanding and retention, blending lecture and classroom discussion with exercises, games and simulations. Using Scrum to teach the class allows us to manage the pace of the class while taking time to move and refresh our brains to stay focused throughout the day.
Key Concepts
Every course covers the core learning objectives of the CSPO while leaving room for deeper conversations led by the questions and challenges class attendees bring up in class. The class includes a comprehensive simulation across both days in which teams work together to create a complete set of artifacts for a real-world digital product.
The key topics covered in the class include:
- Lean and Agile and how Scrum relates to these core principles

One of the best courses I've attended. It helped me understand better the concepts have read and even lived through the lens of the Scrum framework.
Dave's course is clearly the gold standard for Agile training. I will be back for more. I've taken several other product owner courses and training in this subject, and although they were helpful, the methods and execution of this course raised the bar in a major way.
A-CSM with Dave is a beautiful opportunity to bring your scrum knowledge to another level. With a group of other experienced scrum masters, you have the opportunity to talk about the wicked topics that you always wanted to get insights/answers on that are real-world related.
