COURSE OVERVIEW
Product ownership in the age of AI
AI is changing how product teams discover, decide, and deliver. This one-day Scrum.org-accredited course gives Product Owners the frameworks, tools, and practical judgment to apply AI responsibly — from backlog refinement and hypothesis testing to stakeholder communication and product strategy.
Delivered by Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) certified by Scrum.org who apply AI in their own advisory practice.
MORNING
AI fundamentals for Product Owners
Foundations of AI relevant to product work — how large language models, generative tools, and AI-assisted workflows apply to discovery, backlog management, and product decision-making. Hands-on exploration of AI tools in a product context.
AFTERNOON
Responsible AI in product delivery
Ethical and responsible use of AI in product contexts — bias, transparency, and accountability. Integrating AI practices into your Product Owner workflow and coaching your team on applying AI to delivery challenges.

Your question about AI in product work won’t be in the textbook.Your trainer’s answer shouldn’t be either.
ZXM trainers apply AI in their own product advisory and research practice — not just in the classroom. Matt and Mia bring real case experience from enterprise, government, and scale-up contexts where AI is already reshaping how product teams work.
ZXM’s lead trainers — Matt and Mia — are Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) certified by Scrum.org. They are among a small number of Australian practitioners who hold both deep Scrum expertise and active AI practice experience.
