Enhance your learning with LitheSpeed’s dual certification offering.

This added certification equips you with practical knowledge of modern product-centric operating models, helping you connect strategy to delivery, drive measurable outcomes, and operate more effectively in today’s AI-enabled environment.
Our practicing experts go beyond basic Scrum to teach you how to function as a Scrum Product Owner in the real world.
Take charge of the Product Backlog and prioritize for your team while learning to communicate clearly with project stakeholders. While leading a realistic Scrum simulation, we also gently introduce you to principles and tools from methods like Lean Startup®, Kanban, Lean UX and XP in order to demonstrate Scrum’s true versatility.
