Professional Scrum Product Owner

Hello!!

I am so excited to share with you what it means to be a Professional Scrum Product Owner.

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.

Whether you're ready to advance your experience in the industry, or have been thrown in the deep end, the Professional Scrum Product Owner™   course is designed to teach you about product ownership and agile product management.

This is the cutting-edge course for Product Owners, agile product managers and anyone responsible for a product’s success in the market. Over the 2 days, participants will develop and solidify their knowledge of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. The breadth of the role’s responsibilities in delivering a successful product will become more clear from an agile perspective. The mechanics of the Scrum framework and the accountability of a Professional Scrum Product Owner will be explored. Metrics will be identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace. The ability to maximise value and enhance business agility will be the ultimate learning outcome. The course will further prepare the participants for the globally recognized Professional Scrum Product Owner I certification exam (PSPO I), and includes a free attempt at the same.

The PSPO course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, and in particular in the live-virtual format, participants will work collaboratively on real-life cases with other classmates and learn together as a team. As an experienced senior consultant, I, the trainer, will bring my own journey both as a Product Owner and from coaching Product Owners, to the course, to help you navigate what product ownership can look like for you and your context.
