Students Say:
This course was really helpful! I liked having the 4 hr x 4 day schedule. It helped me digest and retain the information over time. What I liked best was being able to ask specific questions, learning about how specifically the PO should act in each scrum ritual, learning about some specific tools useful to POs like product discovery.

I think the CSPO was an excellent class! It was easy to learn even if I am not currently in the tech world. The once a week class schedule, was great! I love the flexibility. Chris was awesome. I’m so happy with my choice!! Ready to take my next class!

Chris uses great examples from his previous experience and has valuable tips for how to be effective as a Product owner. The prework helped refresh the concepts from the CSM workshop and the worksheets shared throughout the class were so interactive and practical that I will certainly come back to them. Business Value Estimation game was fun and helpful to take away for future use. Chris sets a good atmosphere where the people in the class are comfortable speaking up and this really made me feel comfortable getting to know people in the group and fully participating when it came to the activities in the breakout rooms.

The course is a great overview of scrum and a product owner’s responsibility within the framework. The value estimation activity was a lightbulb moment and something that I can take back to my stakeholders and immediately get results. Chris is great and continues to be a legend within our team at Kenna/Cisco.

Completed my online CSPO training with Agile Learning Labs today. I highly recommend them. The training was very interactive, formatted like a sprint rather than a class, and the instructor did a great job of keeping everyone engaged.

I highly recommend the CSPO course led by Chris Sims. He’s an amazing instructor. The hands-on activities help you understand the various techniques, and improve your collaboration with engineers and stakeholders. You will become a better product leader.
