ITpreneurs Japan Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Muneyuki Okamoto, hereinafter 'ITpreneurs'), a group company of Aoba-BBT, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Iwao Shibata), has cooperated in the Japanese localization of the globally recognized Scrum.org™ Product Owner certification exam 'Professional Scrum Product Owner™ I (PSPO I)'.
The Japanese version will be available starting April 2026. At the same time, the Japanese version of the free, no-registration-required learning tool 'Product Owner Open (practice exam)' provided by Scrum.org™ has also been released.
The 'Product Owner Open (practice exam)' can be accessed via the following URL:

## ● Background and Overview of the Initiative
In today's highly uncertain business environment, the role of the 'Product Owner (PO)', who maximizes the value of a product, is becoming increasingly important. However, the current situation in Japan is that there is still a shortage of human resources who have acquired the skills and mindset necessary to be a Product Owner.
To solve these challenges and accelerate the development of professional Product Owners in Japan, ITpreneurs supported the development of the Japanese version together with Scrum Lighthouse, a globally expanding training company.
Following the Japanese version of 'Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I)' released in 2025, we will continue to contribute to the spread of Scrum in Japan by preparing an environment where 'Professional Scrum' advocated by Scrum.org™ can be understood more deeply and accurately.
## ● Key Points of the PSPO I Certification Exam Japanese Version
1) World-standard Product Owner certification can be taken in Japanese: Japanese-speaking examinees can focus on the exam without relying on translation tools. Also, anyone can take the exam from anywhere in the world.
2) Provision of a free practice exam (Japanese version): A practice exam that can be tried any number of times without registration is published on the official Scrum.org™ website. This significantly lowers the learning hurdle for obtaining the certification.
3) High-quality translation based on solid expertise: By utilizing the deep knowledge of Scrum and rich training experience of both ITpreneurs and Scrum Lighthouse, a highly accurate translation has been realized.
