AI for Product Owners
Use AI to Focus on What Matters Most
Product Owners are constantly making decisions. What goes on the backlog. What gets prioritized. What problem are we actually solving. AI tools can help you move faster and think more clearly on each of those fronts, but only if you know how to use them well.
This Scrum Alliance microcredential course gives Product Owners and Product Managers a practical, hands-on introduction to using AI responsibly in their role. You will explore how AI can support requirements development, backlog management, and product discovery, while keeping your own judgment at the center of every decision.
The course is built around real Product Owner scenarios. You will practice writing prompts, work through product management use cases, and leave with a toolkit you can put to use immediately, regardless of what tools your organization currently uses.
No prior AI experience is required. Basic familiarity with Scrum is helpful. Whether you hold a CSPO, A-CSPO, CSP-PO, or simply work in a Product Owner role, this course will give you something concrete to take back to your team.
