The cert your team is on now, plus the levels above and below. Use this to map an engineer's next-step credential or to plan headcount coverage across tiers.

Customer outcome

Build PSPO capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Professional Scrum Product Owner I 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.
