After 50 Senior Executives Earned Their CSM, Why Did Galaxy Software Send the General Manager, Directors, and POs Back to Earn CSPO?

Most companies talk about Scrum's results one year in. The real companies to watch are the ones still willing — fifteen years later — to send their general manager and directors back into the classroom. After Galaxy Software's 50 senior executives all earned CSM, a new question surfaced: how do we make the PO role properly empowered? — that's exactly what CSPO is built to answer. So Galaxy reinvested in a CSPO enterprise cohort, this time led personally by BG GM Chris. In an era where AI is taking over code writing, code testing, and even code review, this decision is worth more thought than it first appears. (With thanks to Galaxy BG GM Chris for confirming the accuracy of this article.)
