PSPO™ Product Owner Certification Process
Scrum.org™ is a leading global certification body for scrum and agile practices. A membership with Scrum.org™ will provide you with a means to collaborate with other scrum enthusiasts helping you to learn, share and improve your scrum skillset. As a member you will have access to expert blogs and other scrum resources.
The Professional Scrum Product Owner level 1 (PSPO I) assessment is available to anyone who wishes to validate their fundamental knowledge of the Scrum framework and its ability to support value creation and delivery. Those who pass the assessment will receive the industry recognized PSPO I Certification to indicate their mastery of the content.
Taking a course is not required. While taking a Professional Scrum Product Owner course is highly recommended, if you feel you already possess a high level of knowledge, you have the option to take the PSPO I assessment directly. The PSPO I assessment is grounded in the Professional Scrum Product Owner subject areas. The assessment is exhaustive and rigorous. Many questions ask the test-taker to think about or interpret the meaning from the Scrum Guide and/or to apply content from the PSPO subject areas. Or, in some cases, apply their own experience.
If you pass the PSPO I assessment you will receive the industry-recognized "PSPO I" certification, along with a PSPO I logo that you can use to identify your achievement. In addition, your name will be listed on Scrum.org.
Unlike other Scrum certifications that require only class attendance, Scrum.org certification requires a minimum score on an online assessment. This gives Scrum.org certification teeth and ensures that it has true value in the marketplace.
