Brian is the host of The Agile Mentors Podcast and partner with Mike Cohn on creating classes and content for Mountain Goat Software. Brian has begun teaching classes on his own in order to focus on the intersection of AI and Agile as well as the next evolution in the world of work: moving beyond process optimization to human optimization.
Please note the requirements from Scrum Alliance to earn the A-CSPO certification:
You can attend the course before meeting the 12-month experience requirement, but the A-CSPO certification will only be issued by Scrum Alliance once all requirements (CSPO cert, course completion, and 12+ months logged experience) are met.
The A-CSPO course dives deeper into the skills needed to excel as a Product Owner. We move beyond backlog basics into advanced techniques for product discovery, strategy alignment, outcome-based planning, and complex stakeholder interaction.
This experience is designed to elevate your ability to define compelling product goals, manage competing priorities, experiment effectively, and truly maximize the value delivered by your Scrum Team in challenging environments.
We'll explore advanced product techniques and how the evolving landscape, including AI, impacts the Product Owner's role in strategic decision-making.
Master techniques for visualizing, refining, forecasting, and managing complex Product Backlogs to optimize flow and value.
Develop skills in defining product goals, aligning with business strategy, roadmapping, and validating assumptions.
Learn sophisticated techniques for identifying, communicating with, and influencing diverse and challenging stakeholders.
Discover how AI can augment product discovery, user research, value stream mapping, and backlog management.
