    What Is the Certified Scrum Product Owner Credential?Your Entry into Product Ownership

    The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) is a foundational Scrum Alliance certification that teaches the Scrum framework from the product owner's point of view: how to define product vision, manage the Product Backlog and work with stakeholders to maximise value. Invensis Learning's CSPO certification training in Ottawa prepares you to step into the product owner role with confidence. There is no exam. The credential is awarded once you complete an approved two-day course delivered by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), and it includes a two-year Scrum Alliance membership and digital badge. That makes it one of the most direct routes from learning to a recognised, globally portable product credential. The programme suits aspiring product owners, business analysts taking on backlog duties, product managers moving to Scrum and founders building products. As Ottawa's federal digital, SaaS and telecom employers scale agile delivery, trained product owners are in growing demand. Start your CSPO journey with Invensis Learning.

    Invensis Learning is aligned with Scrum Alliance to provide CSPO certification in Ottawa. The training is delivered by Certified Scrum Trainers (CST) using official Scrum Alliance courseware and the CSPO Learning Objectives.
