Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO)

Distributed product delivery often fails when ownership, priorities, and Scrum expectations are unclear. This PSPO I course gives IT Directors and Training Managers a structured way to align Product Owners, Team Leads, and IT Practitioners around backlog management, forecasting, release planning, Scrum events, artifacts, and team accountability. The time investment is realistic for working teams: about 8 hours and 15 minutes per learner, making it suitable for onboarding new Product Owners or standardizing Scrum practices across a product or delivery group. This is not a compliance course, but it can reduce delivery risk by helping teams make product decisions more transparent and consistent. CBT Nuggets Playlists can sequence this training by role, Practice Exams can support PSPO I exam readiness, and Team Reporting helps leaders track completion across assigned learners.

IT teams complete this training to reduce ambiguity between business priorities and Scrum execution. The course focuses on real delivery situations Product Owners and Scrum teams face, including backlog decisions, release planning, and running Scrum events with clear commitments.
