Whether you're advancing your career or looking to upskill employees across your organization, it's crucial to identify the certifications with the highest return on investment. Most of us want the certifications we pursue to actually teach us something valuable, in addition to earning an in-demand digital badge that stands for something. So how does the Certified Scrum Product Owner measure up to these standards? From research we conducted with the Business Agility Institute, we know that 77% of hiring managers ranked the importance of certifications as 3 or higher on a scale of 1 to 5. According to Coursera, the CSPO has been one of the seven most-mentioned certifications in job listings in recent years. Employers recognize a CSPO. Not only when they're hiring product owners, but when they're hiring any role that collaborates closely with multiple groups including leadership and stakeholders; when they need someone who understands market competition and customer needs. And when they need a person who can see a project, product, or other work through from vision to fruition—and who can handle pivots and surprises along the way. Not only does the CSPO from Scrum Alliance signal all of these values to employers, the course itself equips you with applicable, relevant scrum and agile knowledge. You'll learn how to practice agile ways of working and thinking in order to adapt to market changes and deliver value early and regularly. You'll learn about working with multiple stakeholders and how to balance their (sometimes competing) interests and requests. You'll find out how to develop a product goal collaboratively and understand how it can align your team around a common cause to maximize value for the customer. The CSPO learning outcomes are readily applicable to an array of jobs: product ownership and others. The CSPO is worth it to stand out from a pool of product-focused, business-focused candidates while also learning new skills to help you do your job better. #ProductOwner #Agile
