    question: Who is this course for — and who is it NOT for?
    answer: The Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) course is designed for current and aspiring Product Owners, Product Managers, Scrum Masters seeking deeper understanding of the Product Owner role, and anyone involved with Agile Product Management. If you are not working with Scrum teams or have no interest in Agile product development, this course is unlikely to be relevant.

    question: What does certification/assessment involve — is it included, and what happens if I don't pass?
    answer: The course includes one free attempt at the PSPO I certification exam. If you take the exam within 14 days of course completion and don't score at least 85%, you receive a free second attempt. Passing earns the Scrum.org-recognised PSPO I certification.

    question: Is this course practical (hands-on, exercises), discussion-based, or lecture-based?
    answer: PSPO is highly practical and activity-based, featuring team exercises and real-world scenarios. While there is some instruction, most learning comes through hands-on activities and discussion, not passive lectures.
