This is my second course by Berteig! I have previously taken the TKP - Team Kanban Practitioner and now the CSPO - Certified Scrum Product Owner. I like the way that Mishkin teaches. He is knowledgeable and a great trainer. As a Scrum Master, the CSPO really helped me realize the PO perspective and I am excited to take what I learned back to my team.

I found the Product Owner Bootcamp very effective. Even though it was virtual, it was very engaging. The activities were well planned out and very relevant to the PO role. I also loved how the topic of AI was discussed. It was great to see how AI can be leveraged for POs. I am confident that what I have learned throughout this course will help me to refine my skills and excel in my role.

It was a really good experience to go through the Product Owner Bootcamp, it is not a typical canned format. I also like the fact there was dedicated time to share information and show techniques on how AI could be leveraged in the daily operations of a Product Owner.
