Conceptually, it is similar to the CSM course, in that it is also an introductory Scrum course. But, it is more for product owners and key business stakeholders. We often run this as an intermediate course, especially if many or most of the attendees have taken the CSM course before.

Again, we recommend doing this with the Agile Release Planning workshop, which makes it 3 days.
We do review the basics of Scrum, but mostly for remedial purposes. The main focus is on how to become an outstanding PO. And how to work effectively as a PO to maximize the business value from the Team to the customers.
The ScrumMasters (or coaches) should also attend, since they must coach and work with the Product Owner. And others working with the PO (such as BAs) should also attend. We strongly recommend that you also include an Agile Release Planning workshop. That is described below.
