PSPO-AI is Scrum.org's AI-focused Product Owner certification. It validates your knowledge of applying Artificial Intelligence within the scope of Professional Scrum Product Ownership — demonstrating that you can explore, evaluate, and integrate AI tools and practices to enhance product discovery, customer understanding, experimentation, and decision-making, and that you can do it responsibly and ethically. Where PSPO I and PSPO II validate the Product Owner accountabilities themselves, PSPO-AI validates something layered on top: how a modern Product Owner uses AI to do that job better.

PSPO-AI is designed for Product Owners and Product Managers, and is also explicitly open to Business Analysts, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and anyone in a product-related role who wants to stay ahead with AI. Scrum.org's own course description puts it plainly: everyone involved in the product management process benefits from this training, not just people who hold the Product Owner title.

No. PSPO-AI is designed for practitioners with no prior AI experience — it covers AI fundamentals from a practical, product-context perspective rather than assuming any machine learning or data science background. If you've never used an AI tool before, the course brings you up to speed; if you already use AI tools day to day, it sharpens how you apply them specifically to product discovery, validation and delivery.

No, it isn't mandatory. The course builds conceptually on Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) and Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced (PSPO-A) content by exploring how AI applies across the various Product Owner stances, so a working understanding of Scrum and product ownership makes the course more valuable — but you don't need a formal PSPO I certificate to enrol.

This is the single most important thing to know before enrolling: unlike PSPO I or PSPO II, both of which can be taken as standalone exams without attending a class, the PSPO-AI certification exam is only available to students who have attended the official Professional Scrum Product Owner - AI Essentials training course. You cannot simply self-study and purchase an exam attempt the way you can for PSPO I or PSPO II; attending the course is a hard requirement, not just a recommendation.

Standard PSPO certifications (PSPO I, II, III) focus on Product Owner accountabilities, product vision, backlog management, business strategy, and stakeholder collaboration. PSPO-AI focuses specifically on how AI tools support and enhance those same responsibilities — product discovery, customer understanding, experimentation, and decision-making. In short: PSPO proves Product Ownership mastery; PSPO-AI proves that mastery extended into AI-augmented product work.

No. Like all Scrum.org certifications, PSPO-AI is yours for life once you pass the assessment — there's no renewal fee, no continuing-education requirement, and no expiry date, even though the AI tools referenced in the course will keep evolving.

Beyond the traditional Product Owner stances, the course walks through how AI supports each one in practice — Customer Representative, Visionary, Experimenter, Decision Maker, and Collaborator. It also introduces a new stance specific to this course: the Orchestrator, focused on adopting AI responsibly and securely across a team and organisation. That new stance is a meaningful signal of how Scrum.org sees the Product Owner role evolving, not just a bolt-on topic.

It's hands-on by design. Sessions include practical exercises using real AI tools in productrelevant scenarios — for example, generating a product messaging draft, building a table of AI capabilities to evaluate tool categories, or exploring how AI can support onboarding new team members — rather than just discussing AI conceptually. Participants typically work in small teams to create synergy and learn from each other's approaches.

Tezzonix Academy delivers the PSPO-AI programme online, so you can join from anywhere. Tezzonix Academy trains professionals internationally, with hubs in Kerala, India and Bergamo, Italy.

Sessions are led by Scrum.org-accredited trainers with real Product Owner and product management experience who've also worked hands-on with AI tools in product discovery and delivery — not generic AI trainers bolted onto a Product Owner syllabus. That combination matters, since the course is judged on whether AI genuinely strengthens product decisions rather than just producing more content faster, and that judgement call is best made by people who've lived both sides.

PSPO-AI is most directly relevant to Product Owner, Senior Product Owner, and Product Manager roles, particularly at organisations actively integrating AI tools into product discovery and delivery. It also strengthens the profile of Business Analysts, Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches who work closely with product strategy and want to demonstrate they're keeping pace with how the Product Owner role is evolving.

Yes. PSPO-AI is issued and verified directly by Scrum.org, one of the most widely recognised Agile and Scrum certification bodies globally, and includes a free digital credential you can display on LinkedIn and professional profiles. Because it's one of Scrum.org's newest certifications, holding it also signals that your product practice is current, not built entirely around pre-AI ways of working.

Yes. Once you pass the official PSPO-AI assessment through Scrum.org, you'll hold the industry-recognised PSPO-AI certification and digital credential issued directly by Scrum.org. Alongside that, Tezzonix Academy issues a certificate of training completion, useful for showing your structured preparation to an employer or for internal records.

Because attendance at the official course is mandatory to even access the PSPO-AI exam, course fees for this certification typically bundle at least one exam attempt in a way that PSPO I or PSPO II training usually doesn't, since those exams can be purchased independently of any course. Confirm exactly what's included — and current Tezzonix Academy pricing — with the team when you enrol, since packaging can vary by batch.
