Certified Scrum Product Owner®

Delivering value isn’t just about following a set of requirements or a process. It’s about engaging customers, discovering their needs, and sequencing work to optimize outcomes rather than just outputs. Product Owners are central to maximizing the flow of value produced by the product delivery teams. Not just in person, but even when the whole team is online and virtual.

Lead the Product Journey from bright ideas to happy customers.

Learn the Nuts & Bolts of Great Product Ownership. A great Product Owner:

  • facilitates & negotiates internal and external stakeholder needs
  • translates needs into actionable requirements in the product backlog
  • supports product and project development teams throughout their planning, development, and release activities
  • ensures teams and stakeholders exercise frequent feedback cycles to guide future planning
  • manages expectations and projections from vision all the way through product release

Such skills are hard to learn via lecture alone – so this workshop is hands-on and interactive. This is no Powerpoint snoozefest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice
