Should I do the CSM or the CSPO course?

Ideally, you would do both.

To summarise, if you have anything to do with product development or product management, then the Certified Scrum Product Owner course would be a great fit for you.

If you are interested in learning how Scrum works and how the Scrum framework enables teams to solve complex problems and create innovative new products and services, then the Certified Scrum Master course is a great fit for you.

One course teaches you how to become a Scrum Master whilst the other teaches you how to become a Product Owner within a scrum team.

Becoming a great Scrum Master

If you are looking to become a great scrum master, you are going to need to learn how to coach and support the Product Owner in their role.

You will be working with both the development team as well as the Product Owner to create an environment where people can excel.

For that reason, we recommend that Scrum Masters also do the Certified Scrum Product Owner course to have a better understanding of the product owner role and to understand the challenges that a product owner will encounter.
