The role of Product Owner is key to the success of any Scrum project: The Product Owner provides the vision and guidance to the Project Team, bridging the potential gap with the customers and business. With overall responsibility for Return on Investment (ROI), the Product Owner combines the traditional roles of the project and product manager into one.
CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) course also gives you enough information to understand how Scrum works and how to implement Scrum framework in your team, but focuses mainly on functioning as the product owner, or customer, for a Scrum team. You will learn about activities such as managing stakeholders, ROI, backlog grooming, creating effective stories, acceptance criteria for stories, defining done, and so on.”
Overall CSPO course focuses on the role of “the decider” and focuses on the vision inherent in this role. If you work on Scrum projects for long enough, you likely will be a ScrumMaster at some point. But, lots of people never fill the role of Product Owner, for a variety of reasons. The product owner is the team member with the product’s vision in mind.
