About this course
A preparation course for the Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO) certification from Scrum Alliance, with a timed practice exam of 40 questions in 40 minutes and an 80% pass mark, plus the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
A-CSPO has no official exam: you earn it by attending an A-CSPO course with a Scrum Alliance-approved educator and completing all its course work. You must already hold a CSPO and have at least 12 months of Product Owner experience within the past five years. Use this course to prepare before that course, to consolidate what you learned after it, and to get ready for senior Product Owner interviews.
The exam covers the A-CSPO learning areas: stakeholders and facilitation, working with Developers and multiple teams, product strategy and planning, customer empathy and discovery, validating assumptions, and Product Backlog management. Its 40 original questions are mostly scenarios and none are taken from the free test.
Each answer has an explanation that says why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, grounded in the Scrum Guide 2020 and in common product practices such as stakeholder mapping, story maps, customer interviews, hypotheses and MVPs.
You can retake the exam as often as you like, and your results are saved in your account. Questions are in English; explanations are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
