Course Overview

How to maximise the value of a product?

This course is appropriate for students in any industry where teams are working to solve complex problems. The Professional Scrum Product Owner course is for:

• Professionals interested in starting a career as a Product Owner
• Product Owners with some experience in the role that are looking to improve their understanding or fix their misconceptions of Scrum and the Product Owner role
• Scrum Masters wishing to be an effective coach to Product Owners will also find valuable insights in this course

There are many myths and misconceptions about the role of the Product Owner. The accountabilities of the Product Owner, however, go well beyond managing the Product Backlog and writing User Stories. The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution in order to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.

In this two day class students will develop and solidify their knowledge of the Scrum framework and the accountabilities of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. Students learn techniques that they can use to help them overcome the challenges that are often encountered on a day-to-day basis. They will do this while learning better ways to work with the organisation, stakeholders, customers and their team to provide greater value in the product being delivered. Even experienced Product Owners learn many well proven techniques that could help them to maximise the value of their product.
