Transparency
This course uses an AI-generated voice for the narration. The curriculum, scripts, explanations and all practice questions were researched and written by the instructor from the current CPOA Certification Handbook, IIBA's public Introduction to Product Ownership Analysis, and the structure of the Guide to Product Ownership Analysis. The course explains the official concepts in original words; it does not reproduce the guide, which IIBA members can download free from IIBA and which you should read alongside this course.
