Why become a Certified Scrum Product Owner?
A Certified Scrum Product Owner® plays a crucial role in product development for organizations that have embraced the Agile framework. They are responsible for maximizing the value of the products created by the development team and represent the Product Stakeholders’ interest in the Scrum framework. A Product Owner, together with the Scrum Master, acts as a bridge between the user community and the development team to guide a product’s development effort towards success. Product Owners are an indispensable part of the product team and play an important role in the success of an organization. A CSPO® certification by Scrum Alliance gives you a formal recognition as a Product Owner and paves the way for better career opportunities.
Many top organizations like IBM, ANZ, Google, Spotify, Ernst and Young, Dell, Siemens, Target, Honeywell and GE Healthcare have recognized the importance of Scrum framework for their development efforts and have hired CSPOs to represent their interest. Not only large enterprises but even upcoming businesses and start ups are going the Scrum way and are keen on hiring Product Owners who know their responsibilities well and can help meet business objectives. This has led to an increase in the hiring of CSPOs who have the skills and expertise to implement Scrum and Agile. Hence if you want to make an impact in the Agile and Scrum world then gaining a CSPO certification is your best bet.
