Don’t Just Get Certified. Learn to Be an Effective Product Owner.

Getting a Scrum Product Owner certification is easy.

Learning how to make good product decisions and work effectively with stakeholders is not.

Mountain Goat Software’s Certified Scrum Product Owner® course is designed for people who want to understand the Product Owner role deeply and perform it well in practice.

If you’re looking for more than a credential, you’re in the right place.

What This Certified Scrum Product Owner Course Focuses On

We focus on helping you make better product decisions, especially when things aren’t clear or easy.

You’ll see how to:

  • Decide what to build next when everything feels important
  • Balance stakeholder needs without becoming a bottleneck
  • Write and manage a Product Backlog that truly drives value
  • Collaborate effectively with Developers and Scrum Masters
  • Act as a Product Owner in imperfect, constrained environments
This course goes beyond defining the Product Owner role or walking through Scrum artifacts.

A Unique, Interactive Learning Experience

Team Home is a collaboration platform that we designed for our courses. It is optimized for live, online training. Participants benefit by collaborating in ways beyond what is possible with generic whiteboard software such as Mural or Miro. Instructors can observe activity across all rooms, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of exercise debriefs.
