CollabNet's Certified Scrum Trainer: Dr. Dan Rawsthorne
About the Certified Product Owner Course

Scrum is a simple, empirically based framework that has wide ranging implications. Key to the success of
Scrum is the role of the Product Owner. The Product Owner is responsible for a project’s Return on Investment
(ROI), guiding the Scrum team, and representing Customers as well as Business and Development staff.
Strong Product Ownership is key to successful Scrum transformations.
Learn the essentials of working as a Scrum Alliance Certified Product Owner (CSPO) in this two-day class.
CollabNet’s CSPO equips participants with the knowledge of Scrum principles and practices necessary to succeed
