Struggling to decide whether to take the ScrumMaster or Product Owner training?
First, know the problem that you’re trying to solve, then let that guide you. The ScrumMaster workshop helps grow a great team that can build a high quality product rapidly. The Product Owner course is all about working with the customers, stakeholders, and development team to determine which product to build.
A simplified explanation of the differences between our two most popular courses:
ScrumMaster (CSM) training
Who Should Attend
Individual Contributors (Developer, Tester, BA)
ScrumMasters
Product Owners
Traditional Project Managers
Mid-level Executives, etc
- usually the best fit for anyone new to Scrum
- focuses on the role of the team and the ScrumMaster (touches on Product Ownership but only as part of the big picture)
- understand the how and why of Scrum (not just the what)
- designing retrospectives that help teams overcome problems
- coaching your team through challenges, and how to coach your Product Owner
Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) training
Who Should Attend
Product Owners
ScrumMasters
Business Analysts
Product Managers
Project Managers
Business Stakeholder
Program Managers
- focuses on Product Ownership and the role of the Product Owner
- collaborative efforts with your development team
- creating an effective vision and strategy,
- why the PO shouldn’t be the one to write User Stories
- splitting large User Stories into manageable-sized chunks
- delivering a useable product every sprint
- gets people who want to understand how to build, manage, and maintain an effective product backlog, and/or work with the Product Owner to do so (ScrumMasters, Business Analysts, etc).
