Registered Product Owner™ (RPO) by Scrum Inc. | Oct 5-6, 2026
Learn to turn product vision into a prioritized backlog, cut what doesn't create value, and shorten the loop between what you ship and what you learn.
Course Overview
Developed from the work of Scrum co-creator Dr. Jeff Sutherland, this Registered Product Owner™ (RPO) training covers the essential practices of effective product ownership. You'll learn how to translate vision into an actionable backlog, ruthlessly prioritize against value, write and decompose work so developers can deliver it autonomously, build release plans stakeholders trust, and accelerate the feedback loops between what you ship and what you learn.
Through industry-specific case studies, proven Scrum patterns, and interactive exercises, you'll explore the scientific principles that make Scrum work and learn how to apply them in complex, rapidly changing environments, including material drawn from the second edition of Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time. The course also examines how AI can augment product work, from accelerating product vision and backlog creation to sharpening prioritization decisions.
You'll leave prepared to own a product backlog and be accountable for the value your team delivers.
