EXIN Agile Scrum Product Owner (ASPO.EN)
Scope
An Agile Scrum Product Owner certificate ensures that a candidate can successfully lead Agile
Scrum projects in the context of an overall Service and Product Lifecycle, in a way that adds the
most value possible for the customer.
In order to do this, the Product Owner provides direction, makes final decisions, and ensures that
the Team is aimed at the right goals. The Product Owner is actively engaged with, communicates
well with, and listens carefully to arguments from the Team. Within the context of the
organization’s larger business objectives, the Product Owner provides the vision, but also the
boundaries within which this vision must be realized. This is achieved by creating, maintaining and
prioritizing the business value-driven Product Backlog. It is the Product Owner’s responsibility to
make sure the project earns a good Return on Investment.
A good Product Owner understands the business and the market, is the Voice of the Customer
(internal or external), manages the product or service lifecycle and balances the need for both
functional and non-functional requirements.
