CSPO® · Certified Scrum Product Owner® · 2 days · Helsinki
An intensive on prioritisation for Product Owners.
AI brings more options, more speed and more noise. The most important question hasn’t changed — it has only got harder: where is it worth focusing? On this course you build yourself a way to answer it.
Public calendar in Finnish — bring three colleagues or more and we can run this in English. Same trainer, same materials.

01 · Recognise this?
The same question, only sharper.
- 01The calendar is full of meetings where you decide what gets built — and a week later the same things are open again.
- 02AI produces more options and more experiments than ever — and the same old question only gets harder: where should we focus?
- 03Stakeholders pull in different directions, and from where each of them stands, the view makes sense. You don't want to be the gatekeeper — but the choice still has to be made, and it lands on you.
02 · For you if…
Not for absolute beginners — and not for the expert who has it all figured out.
- You're a Product Owner, product manager or equivalent — and prioritisation has effectively been on your plate for a long time, whatever the title says.
- You're weighing up the PO role and want to know concretely what it takes before you commit.
- You're already a PO, but your current way of working no longer holds — you want structure for your decision-making.
- You're a trainer or consultant supporting PO roles in organisations, and you want a senior-level certification behind your craft.
03 · What you take home
Five concrete tools you start using on Monday.
01
Clarity on what the PO actually owns
What's your job, what's the team's, what's management's. When that line is clear, the pointless meetings and the stakeholder friction thin out.
Connects to: PO Accountability, Product Goal
02
Prioritisation methods that hold up in the AI era
Further than MoSCoW: ways to decide when there are suddenly ten times the options and none of them stands out as clearly best.
Connects to: Value-based prioritization, Decision frameworks
03
Stakeholder collaboration that doesn't eat all your time
How to keep stakeholders in the loop without each of them starting to decide on your behalf. The fundamentals of a Discovery process.
Connects to: Stakeholder mapping, Discovery
04
The role of AI in a PO's work
What AI is good for: generating options, analysing data, acting as a sparring partner. What it isn't: choosing the final priority, or building trust.
Connects to: PO and AI perspective
05
Practical tools for your own work
Managing the backlog, pacing the work queue, working with the team. Concrete things you can try as early as next week.
Connects to: Backlog refinement, Sprint planning

05 · After the course you…
Don’t go back to the old way.
- You recognise your own place in the PO accountability landscape and know which areas are primarily yours.
- You make prioritisation decisions that hold up under later scrutiny — your reasoning is more than a hunch.
- You can open up the PO role to stakeholders so that they understand what it's about too.
- You use AI as a tool in your own work — you decide, AI assists.
- You back your craft with the Scrum Alliance CSPO® certification.
