Are you looking to enhance your product management skills using Scrum? Join our Product Owner Immersion Program, an alternative format that extends the learning experience beyond the classroom by allowing students to apply what they have learned to their real-world settings. This format is enhanced by incorporating retrospectives for improvement, making the learning experience highly effective and practical.

What is an Immersion Program?

Throughout the program, you will learn the fundamental principles of Scrum, including the Product Owner role and the Scrum framework, as well as agile estimation techniques and product backlog management.

Our program provides opportunities for you to put what you have learned into practice. You will participate in live online sessions, interactive exercises and real-world case studies, and receive feedback from our experienced trainers. Additionally, you will have access to an online learning platform that provides additional resources and support.

Upon completion of the program, you will have gained a deep understanding of Scrum and its application in product development. You will also be able to apply the tools and techniques learned during the program in real-world scenarios.

Who Is an Immersion Program For? The application of learnings during an Immersion Program is core to the concept. Participants should have the opportunity to work with a real team on a real product during participation in the program. If you do not have this opportunity while participating in the program, you can either find a partner to pair with, or you should consider attending a traditional class. 

Immersion Programs are an extension to our existing course offerings, not a replacement. We believe that learners have preferences and unique situations, to which we intend to offer greater variety in course delivery methods to meet these needs. The below characteristics of learners are generalized and intended to help guide you towards the learning method you think might suit you best. 

Learners who register for an Immersion Program: 

• Are committed to applying their learning and are willing to conduct small experiments at work throughout the learning experience. 

• Are able to independently focus on intersession assignments. 

• Learn best by doing. • Prefer to gain knowledge, practice in a safe environment, then apply. 

• Want to learn enough to try something quickly, then inspect and adapt to improve and grow. 

Learners who register for a traditional Scrum.org course: 

• Are committed to taking ownership of their learning experience which is dependent on full and active participation over a short period of time. 

• Find it easier to fully focus on the class and learning for two consecutive days. 

• Learn best through discussions and conversations with their peers and instructor. 

• Want to gain a broad understanding of the subject and use it as a foundation for further independent learning. 

How It Works: The Flow of a Product Owner Immersion Program The below is an example agenda. For private classes, this program is flexible to include longer or shorter duration of sessions. This agenda is an adapted flow of the Professional Scrum Product Owner™ (PSPO) course for an Immersion Program and includes assignments which are not part of a standard PSPO course. These assignments are based on the learning outcomes of the PSPO course. To learn more about the Professional Scrum Product Owner course, view the course overview page.
