Being a professional Product Owner encompasses more than writing requirements or managing a Product Backlog. Product Owners need a concrete understanding of all product management aspects, including but not limited to product ownership, that drives value from their products. PSPO is the cutting-edge course for Product Owners, Agile product managers, and anyone responsible for a product's success in the market. This 2-day course focuses on all aspects of product management to teach you how to maximise the value of products and systems.
