PSPO is the cutting-edge course for Product Owners, Agile product managers and anyone responsible for a product’s success in the market.

·       Customer Representative - focused on understanding customer problems, challenges and potential opportunities

·       Visionary - communicating the vision, future state and possibilities in ways that foster common understanding

·       Experimenter - focusing on innovation, hypothesis testing and validating potential value to spark product innovation

·       Influencer - communicating with and influencing stakeholders, customers and the Scrum Team to act with common purpose

·       Collaborator - seeking input, ideas and feedback from others

·       Decision Maker - focusing on creating maximum impact by making clear choices and decisions
