Certified Scrum Product Owner Training and Certification Course aims towards teaching you about the responsibilities of leading the project strategically, collaborating with customers and team on a daily basis, and managing the business value. The role of a Scrum product owner is slightly neglected in the scrum since people
focus a lot on team and scrum master. However, the product owner is the most important role when it comes to product management. A good Scrum Product Owner works as a tour guide who provides the team with the direction so that
they can realize if they are making the right product or not. The Scrum Product Owner is the key stakeholder of a Scrum Project. He or she should have a vision of what she wants to build. From the product backlog management to delivering the final product, a Scrum Product Owner should have his or her hands on every little product-oriented detail. The Product Owner is responsible for expressing product backlog items, ordering the items in the product backlog, optimizing the value of work that the development team performs, confirming that the product backlog is visible and transparent to all, making the development team understand the product backlog properly. Certified Scrum Product Owner training gives you a complete knowledge of Scrum from the point of view of a Product Owner, enabling you to be an effective customer to the Scrum team and maximizing ROI.
