Certified Scrum Product Owner Training
Email us for details of bespoke, on-site training for your team.
This two-day interactive course equips you with all you need to know about being an effective product owner. At the end of the class, you will understand how you can leverage Scrum to optimise value creation and customer satisfaction.
You will understand the product owner role with its authority and responsibility, and its interaction with the other Scrum roles. You will be able to create a product vision, stock and groom the product backlog, prioritise the backlog, and systematically refine requirements. You will also be able to create a realistic release and track the project progress and understand how you can effectively collaborate with the ScrumMaster and team in the sprint meetings.
Questions and conversations are encouraged throughout and there is also a dedicated Q&A session to explore the concerns and practical queries.
As Certified Scrum Trainers we are approved by the Scrum Alliance and have had experience of Scrum implementations small, medium and large, coming up against and resolving many barriers to Scrum along the way.
