A-CSPO® · Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner® · 2 days · Helsinki
The product owner’s deep dive.
CSPO gave you the fundamentals — now it’s time to go further. A hands-on two-day intensive in the skills a product owner needs when the stakeholders get tougher, the teams multiply and the ground feels less certain. No ready-made slides — we work it through together.

01 · Recognise this?
The fundamentals were enough — until the terrain changed.
- 01You've done CSPO and the fundamentals are solid — but the terrain has shifted. More stakeholders, several teams, and far less certainty about where to focus.
- 02You've quietly become the bottleneck. Decisions wait for you, and everyone has a strong opinion about what should happen next.
- 03You're shipping features, yet you're no longer sure you're delivering value — and you can't show it to the people who keep asking.
02 · For you if…
You already have the foundation — and the urge to go further.
- You're a CSPO-certified product owner with at least a year of experience in the role.
- You own a product across several teams, with overlapping dependencies pulling at each other.
- Your stakeholders pull in different directions, and you need real structure for decisions and prioritisation.
- You want to demonstrate value — not just features — and grow your credibility as a product professional.
03 · What you take home
Five skills for more demanding product ownership.
01
Don't be the bottleneck
Lead a room full of strong opinions. Levels of listening, decision rules and a stakeholder map you can actually use day to day — so the work stops piling up on your desk.
Connects to: core competencies, stakeholders, decision-making
02
Sharpen the product vision
Strategy, the Product Vision Box and a GO Roadmap keep the Product Backlog aligned with the goal — so it stops being a mixed bag of wishes.
Connects to: product strategy, Vision Board, roadmap
03
Validate assumptions, not opinions
Hypotheses, handling cognitive bias and assessing the Sprint Review make learning visible. You decide on evidence — not on whoever is loudest in the room.
Connects to: designing learning, hypotheses, Black Hat
04
Lead product work across teams
A dependency map and a clear-eyed comparison of scaling approaches — without slavishly following any one framework. You see the whole, not just your own team's slice.
Connects to: dependencies, scaling, multi-team
05
Measure value, order the work right
Modelling and measuring value, refinement, and weaving together feedback from many sources. You can explain why this, and in what order.
Connects to: measuring value, Definition of Done, refinement

05 · After the course you…
Deliver value, not just features.
- You're no longer the bottleneck: a room full of strong opinions moves forward, because you bring a structure for deciding.
- You keep the Product Backlog aligned with the product vision and strategy.
- You validate assumptions with hypotheses — you don't settle it by opinion or volume.
- You lead product development across several teams without losing sight of the whole.
- You measure and model value, and you can justify your prioritisation to stakeholders.
- You're a product professional who delivers business outcomes — not just features.

08 · Certification
Scrum Alliance A-CSPO®
The certificate is included in the course price. A-CSPO® requires a prior CSPO certification and at least one year of work experience as a product owner. A two-year Scrum Alliance membership extension is included in the price.
You can attend the course without these prerequisites too — you get the same learning, but the certificate isn’t granted until the Scrum Alliance requirements are met.

09 · FAQ
Most common questions
- Does A-CSPO require a prior CSPO certification?
- For the certification, yes — Scrum Alliance rules require a prior CSPO. You can still join the course without it if you want the same learning without the A-CSPO mark.
- Is other work experience needed?
- The certification requires at least a year of experience as a product owner. The course assumes you've already been in situations where the basics alone fell short.
- Is the course remote or in person?
- Public courses in Helsinki are run in person. Materials are created in the moment, not from slides — experiential learning needs the same room.
- What's included in the price?
- Training materials, breakfast, lunch and afternoon refreshments, and the Scrum Alliance A-CSPO® certification. A two-year Scrum Alliance membership extension is included.
- Is there a group discount?
- Yes — there's a discount for a group of three or more. Get in touch and we'll work out the details.
