๐งญ Sound familiar?
Marcus has been a Product Owner for six years.
He is good at his job. His stakeholders trust him. He knows how to write a user story that a team can actually build from, how to run a backlog refinement that doesn't eat the whole afternoon, how to push back on scope creep without losing the room.
Then one Monday morning he opens his laptop and finds something unsettling.
His manager has forwarded an article. The headline reads: "AI can now prioritise your product backlog better than you can." A colleague in another team is already using it. Three executives in his organisation have asked about it in the last two weeks.
Marcus stares at the screen. He has spent six years developing the instincts, the frameworks, the stakeholder relationships that make him effective. And he has no idea whether any of that still matters in the world the article is describing.
He feels something he hasn't felt in years. Not threatened exactly. But unsettled. Like the rules of the game he has spent years mastering have quietly changed while he wasn't watching.
He has two choices.
Wait and see what happens. Or get ahead of it.
Most Product Owners are watching AI reshape their role from the sideline. This course puts you on the field, with real product scenarios, real AI tools, and real stakes, so you leave not just understanding AI but leading with it. Across every stance. Confidently. Ethically. Without losing what makes you irreplaceable.
๐ฅ The Product Owner is not dead. But the role is evolving fast.
You have probably heard the headlines. "AI will replace product managers." "AI can write better user stories than your team." "Why pay for discovery when ChatGPT can map your customer personas in seconds?"
Here is the truth: the job title may evolve, but the product judgement cannot be automated.
AI cannot sit with a frustrated customer and hear what they are not saying. It cannot walk into a difficult stakeholder conversation and know when to push and when to listen. It cannot weigh the ethical implications of a product decision against the commercial pressure to ship. It cannot own the outcome.
What AI can do, if you know how to use it, is make every part of your Product Owner work sharper, faster, and more impactful.
The Product Owners who thrive in the next five years will not be the ones who avoided AI. They will be the ones who learned to lead with it while keeping human judgement, ethics, and accountability at the centre of every product decision.
This course is for Marcus. And it is for you.
๐ฏ What makes this course different from every other PSPO-AIE listing
๐๏ธ You get off the sidelines and into the game. Real product scenarios on live AI tools, not slide decks, not case studies you read and discuss. You open the tool, you run the exercise, you see what comes back, and you debrief what it means for your product and your team. This is learning by doing, the way great product work actually happens.
โก You walk away with a thinking partner your team will notice immediately. Using the CRAFTS framework, you build a structured prompt library tailored to every Product Owner stance. Participants from previous cohorts told us this single framework changed how they think about every AI interaction. Not eventually. From the next morning.
๐ You discover that the real power is not in the answer. It is in the question. You practise Context Engineering, the art of giving AI the right background, constraints, and goals so it reasons with you rather than just responds to you. This is the skill that separates average AI use from genuinely powerful product thinking.
๐ง You work through the advanced techniques most courses never reach. Tree of Thought prompting. AI personas debating your product priorities from competing angles. Deep regulatory research at a level that used to require an external consultant. You leave with techniques that make other Product Owners ask how you do it.
๐ญ You practise AI across every Product Owner stance. Not as a generic AI user. As a Visionary. As a Customer Representative. As an Experimenter. As a Decision Maker. As a Collaborator. As an Influencer. As an Orchestrator. Every exercise is grounded in how you actually work, not how a curriculum committee imagined you might.
๐ก๏ธ You stand on the right side of history. You examine real cases where AI caused real harm: the recruiting tool that automatically rejected thousands of qualified candidates based on age and gender, the law firm that submitted citations to court that never existed, the financial officer who lost $25 million to a deepfake video of his own executives. You leave knowing how to protect your product, your organisation, and your professional integrity.
๐ You experience something most AI courses would never dare try. You apply a prompting technique where AI stops giving you answers and starts asking you the powerful questions instead. It is uncomfortable. It is revealing. And it will change how you approach product discovery forever.
๐ You scale your influence beyond the backlog. Using Evidence-Based Management metrics guided by AI, you learn to generate targeted experiments that demonstrate product value at the organisational level. You stop being the person who manages a backlog and start becoming the person who drives measurable business outcomes. That is a different career trajectory entirely.
And you do all of this through the lens of seven Product Owner stances: Customer Representative, Visionary, Experimenter, Decision Maker, Collaborator, Influencer, and Orchestrator, because that is how you actually work. Not as a generic AI user. As a Product Owner.
This is not a course about keeping up. It is a course about stepping up.
๐ก Why this trainer. Why this class.
Joshua Partogi is a Scrum.org Professional Scrum Trainer and Co-Active Coach based in Brisbane, Australia. He has spent over a decade helping Product Owners not just manage backlogs but lead products, from early-stage discovery all the way through to organisational influence.
He is one of the few PSPO-AIE trainers in the world who brings a Co-Active Coaching lens to AI. That means this course does not just ask "what can AI do?" It asks "what does a truly great Product Owner do when AI is in the room?" and the answers are grounded in real product leadership, real facilitation practice, and real coaching conversations, not curriculum theory.
He is also one of the few trainers globally certified to teach both Scrum.org AI Essentials courses, for Scrum Masters and Product Owners. That dual perspective gives him a uniquely complete view of how AI is reshaping entire agile teams, not just individual roles. When you learn from Joshua, you are learning from someone who sees the full picture.
Every exercise in this course was refined with real Product Owners working on real products. The scenarios, the tension points, the debrief questions, all of it comes from what actually happens when product teams start using AI, not from what a curriculum committee imagined might happen. Joshua brings his own hard-won lessons into every session, including where AI genuinely helps, where it creates a dangerous false sense of confidence, and how to tell the difference in the moment.
Participants notice the difference immediately. Here is what they say in their own words.
"Joshua Partogi is an excellent trainer who did a great job covering all of the learning outcomes in a clear, engaging, and practical manner. He was especially effective at translating AI concepts into real-world product ownership use cases, which made the learning highly relevant and immediately applicable. Joshua also helped me understand how different AI tools based on LLMs can be used in practice, including which models may be better suited for specific needs and the reasoning behind those choices." Tanushri Kashyap, United States"My trainer, Joshua, was fantastic โ deeply knowledgeable about the Product Owner role and insightful about how AI is shaping the future of the industry." Ankita, Australia"I really enjoyed Josh's teaching style. He is very nice and knowledgeable with regards to product ownership and AI. There were lots of opportunities to learn about AI through exercises. I learned about various AI tools that I can use on the job." BJ, United States
The techniques you learn here are not theoretical constructs. They are tools you will reach for the very next day. That is not a promise. It is what participants consistently report.
๐ญ Product Owner as Visionary
A product vision is not a mission statement. It is the ambitious, long-term picture of the world your product is trying to create, compelling enough to inspire a team and honest enough to guide hard decisions when the roadmap gets messy.
You will work with the 3x3 Product Vision Framework and Geoffrey Moore's vision template to compress your full product story into a single sentence your stakeholders will actually remember. You will master the critical difference between a Product Vision and a Product Goal, and understand why getting it wrong is one of the most costly mistakes Product Owners make.
๐ Product Owner as Customer Representative
Your customers are not their survey responses or their demographic profiles. They are complex, contradictory human beings. Understanding them deeply enough to make great product decisions has always been the hardest part of the job.
You will use AI to generate rich user personas, surface hidden assumptions, and identify the needs behind the needs that qualitative research misses. You will create visual mockups and interactive prototypes without waiting for a designer or writing a single line of code. And you will practise knowing when to trust AI output and when to interrogate it.
๐งช Product Owner as Experimenter
The best Product Owners are not the ones with the best ideas. They are the ones who find out fastest which ideas are worth pursuing.
You will work through the Experiment Types Matrix, organising experiments by purpose and by the trade-off between cost and confidence. You will practise building functional product prototypes for user validation without writing a single line of code. These are disposable experiments, built entirely for learning and designed to be discarded the moment they answer your question. No guilt. No attachment. Just evidence.
๐ง Product Owner as Decision Maker
Product Owners make decisions all day, many with incomplete information and competing stakeholder opinions pulling in different directions.
You will work with Evidence-Based Management across four dimensions: Current Value, Unrealised Value, Ability to Innovate, and Time to Market. You will use AI to turn gut feel into a data-grounded executive case. And you will master Tree of Thought prompting, where AI simultaneously inhabits three competing personas, debating your decisions, stress-testing assumptions, and merging a recommendation richer than any single perspective could produce alone.
๐ค Product Owner as Collaborator and Influencer
A great product vision nobody understands is just a document. A great strategy nobody believes in is just a slide deck. Your job is not just to make great product decisions. It is to bring people with you.
You will use AI to turn your thinking into professional presentations in a fraction of the usual time. You will practise elevator pitch versions of your product vision for every audience. And you will discover how AI can create audio content that reaches the stakeholders who never read long documents.
๐ผ Product Owner as Orchestrator
This is where everything comes together.
The Orchestrator stance is about understanding AI not as a single tool but as an ecosystem of capabilities, chaining them so the output of one becomes the input of the next. Vision generation feeds customer persona creation, which feeds experiment design, which feeds stakeholder communication, which feeds backlog refinement. Each step augmented by AI and each step remaining under your accountable ownership.
You will also explore AI agents and understand which high-volume Product Owner tasks are the best candidates for intelligent automation.
๐ Who this training is perfect for
โ
Product Owners who feel the ground shifting and want to get ahead of it rather than react to it
โ
Product Managers who want a structured, stance-based approach to AI rather than a collection of disconnected tips
โ
Business Analysts who work closely with product teams and want to understand how AI is reshaping product discovery and delivery
โ
Agile Leaders responsible for helping product teams adopt AI responsibly without losing transparency and accountability
โ
Anyone with solid Scrum and product knowledge who wants practical skills they can apply next week, not next year
No technical background required. You do not need to understand machine learning, neural networks, or any engineering concept. If you can run a Sprint Review, manage a backlog, and have a difficult conversation with a stakeholder, you have everything you need to walk into this course.
๐ What you will walk away with
By the end of this course, Marcus and you will have something most Product Owners only wish they had.
๐ญ A product vision that actually lands. Articulated with AI precision, compressed into an elevator pitch your stakeholders remember, and grounded in the frameworks that separate a great vision from an aspirational wallpaper.
โ๏ธ A prompt library that works as hard as you do. Your personal CRAFTS-based collection of prompts for every Product Owner stance, every Scrum event, and every stakeholder conversation you face. Built during the course and ready to use the very next morning. Not a template someone else made. Yours, shaped around the way you work.
๐งช The ability to validate product ideas faster than ever before. With Rapid Native for functional prototyping, Stitch for UI design, and the Experiment Types Matrix to choose the right level of rigour for every question, you will move from idea to evidence in a fraction of the time it used to take.
๐ง Advanced techniques that will make people ask how you do it. Tree of Thought prompting. Context Engineering. AI-powered Deep Research. Techniques that go far beyond anything in a standard AI course and far beyond what most Product Owners even know exists.
โ๏ธ Ethics knowledge with teeth. Not abstract principles but real situations, real companies, real consequences, and the exact prompting techniques that prevent the same mistakes from happening in your product. You will walk into any AI governance conversation with authority.
๐ช The confidence to lead, not just participate. You will facilitate AI-assisted product conversations without losing human accountability, lead AI adoption discussions without losing the room, and build the case for responsible AI governance without losing your credibility.
๐ A globally recognised certification included. A free PSPO-AI Essentials certification attempt is included, with an 85% pass mark required. Sit within 14 days and a second attempt is yours at no extra cost if you need it. The majority of Joshua's participants pass on their first attempt.
