Condor GmbH - 
Product Owner Certification

Condor GmbH, a leading global company specializing in travel and aviation services, has undertaken a transformative journey to revamp their current website and customer journey through their program "Beyond Horizons." Recognizing the potential of Agile methodologies, they sought to adopt Scrum and SAFe practices to achieve their goals effectively. To ensure a successful Agile transformation, Condor aimed to train and certify ten Product Owners in Agile Scrum practices. To achieve this, they partnered with ScrumZ, a renowned Agile training provider, to deliver a comprehensive training program.

​

Challenge: The challenge at hand was to ensure uniform knowledge and alignment among the Product Owners participating in Condor's "Beyond Horizons" program. They needed a standardized understanding of Scrum and Agile practices to effectively collaborate and drive the project's success. Achieving Agile certification for the Product Owners was essential to equip them with the necessary skills and methodologies required for efficient and cohesive project execution.

​

Solution: To address the challenge, Condor sought an agile training solution that would provide consistent, in-depth knowledge across all Product Owners. Partnering with ScrumZ, they curated a customized training program focused on Scrum and Agile principles. The training aimed to empower the Product Owners with a shared understanding of Agile methodologies, enabling them to implement uniform practices and foster seamless collaboration.

​

Training Delivery: ScrumZ designed a comprehensive 6-hour in-person training, spanning two days, hosted at Condor's offices. This interactive training approach allowed for open discussions, hands-on exercises, and real-world scenarios, ensuring active engagement and knowledge retention.

​

Certification Process: Following the training, ScrumZ facilitated the Product Owners' preparation for the official certification exam. Two weeks later, the participants took the exam, successfully earning their official Agile Product Owner certifications.
