Professional Scrum Product Owner™ I Certification
Prove Your Knowledge of Product Ownership
The Scaled Professional Scrum™ (SPS) certification validates your knowledge of using the Nexus Framework as described in the Nexus Guide. SPS tests your knowledge needed to enable multiple Scrum Teams to work from a single Product Backlog to build an Integrated Increment that meets a goal.
