Anyone who enjoys (or wants to become more familiar with) the business side of projects can benefit from earning a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) class. CSPOs decide what the team will create, ordering the work to ensure that the most valuable, impactful products reach customers at a regular cadence.
Product owner jobs—and the irreplaceable people skills these roles require—are on the rise. In 2020, LinkedIn named it the #15 emerging job, with a 24% annual growth. The World Economic Forum went even further, calling it the #1 job needed for the emerging global workforce.
