Registered Product Owner (RPO)

The Registered Product Owner (RPO) accreditation acknowledges people who successfully use the Scrum framework to methodically deliver immediate business results, maintain a compelling product vision, and generate actual income for their company. Deliver twice as much value for half the price.

The Registered Product Owner program was developed by the co-creator of Scrum, Dr. Jeff Sutherland. Featuring an in-depth curriculum and insights from real-world case studies, this course goes beyond the basics of Scrum and the Product Owner role.
