This certification is appropriate for anyone who is interested in working as a Scrum Product Owner or for someone who is already a Scrum Product Owner in his organization. Scrum Product Owner is an important role in any Scrum project and need not be a technology expert to be effective. Moreover, although Scrum is popular in the IT industry, it can be used effectively across different industries. The SBOK Guide, on which the SPOC™ course is based on, can be used as an effective guide for implementation. Prerequisites: There is no formal prerequisite for this certification. However, it is preferable to complete the Scrum Developer Certified (SDC™) certification before applying for the Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC™) certification.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
