    Professional Scrum Product Owner II

    When Product Ownership stops at backlog ordering, teams can deliver sprint after sprint without clear gains in customer outcomes or revenue. This PSPO II course helps IT Directors and Training Managers build Product Owners who make decisions about value, not just manage work. It is built for experienced Product Owners, Scrum Team Leads, product managers, and Agile IT practitioners who already know Scrum fundamentals. Across 11 skills, learners practice treating products as investments, creating a vision that changes decisions, discovering customer value, using experimentation and evidence, managing stakeholders as a system, prioritizing under pressure, and leading through influence. A running case study, an integrated product simulation, and an assessment and decision lab with question walkthroughs connect each concept to realistic tradeoffs. For team plans, Team Leads can assign the course as a shared language reset before roadmap discussions, product planning, or stakeholder alignment sessions. **Playlists** can sequence it after Professional Scrum Product Owner I, and **Team Reporting** gives IT leaders visibility into completion across product and delivery teams.

Customer outcome

Build PSPO capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Professional Scrum Product Owner II course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished — the view leadership uses to see Scrum.org skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make PSPO a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on PSPO gives leadership a clear picture of Scrum.org skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about Professional Scrum Product Owner II training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Professional Scrum Product Owner II training for their team.

How does Professional Scrum Product Owner II fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

Teams often cite PSPO II when documenting training coverage for the people who hold product ownership and investment decisions, since it reflects evidence-based prioritization and stakeholder management practice. Team reporting in CBT Nuggets provides per-learner progress, completion and completion exports for audit evidence. The auditor's control crosswalk decides any formal mapping to a governance framework.

Who on the team should hold Professional Scrum Product Owner II, and what can a certified team own?

IT leaders typically target experienced Product Owners, product managers and agile leads who already run a backlog and now carry accountability for product strategy. The linked course covers seeing products as investments, creating a vision that changes decisions, discovering customer value, experimentation and evidence, treating stakeholders as a system, and prioritization under pressure. A certified team can own product vision, value-based investment calls and stakeholder alignment across complex, multi-team products.

What does CBT Nuggets Professional Scrum Product Owner II training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets Professional Scrum Product Owner II courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Scrum.org's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track Professional Scrum Product Owner II training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the Professional Scrum Product Owner II courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on Professional Scrum Product Owner II?

The linked live courses add up to about 10 hours of video, ending with an integrated product simulation and an assessment and decision lab. Total time to certify depends on the team's starting point, including how much hands-on product ownership experience each member brings and how much time each person can give the training.

What if Scrum.org updates the Professional Scrum Product Owner II exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates Scrum.org course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Scrum.org restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
