    question: Who is this course for — and who is it NOT for?
    answer: The PPDV course is designed for Product Owners, Product Managers, business analysts, and product teams involved in product development. If your work isn't related to creating or improving products—such as purely operational or support roles—this course likely won't fit your needs.

    question: What does certification/assessment involve — is it included, and what happens if I don't pass?
    answer: The fee includes access to the Professional Product Discovery and Validation (PPDV) assessment. If you take the assessment within 14 days and do not achieve at least 85%, you'll get a second attempt at no extra cost.

    question: What artefacts, decisions, or tools will participants leave with?
    answer: You’ll leave with the ability to design and run experiments, create customised hypotheses, prioritise which product assumptions to test, analyse data from those experiments, and use these insights to inform decisions back at work.

    question: What's the difference between PPDV and the Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) course?
