Self-Paced Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™ Course
Manage and Maintain Your Product Backlog to Deliver Greater Value
The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. It is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. It changes constantly and requires a Product Owner to consider many options when adding to, deleting from, updating, and ordering it.
The self-paced Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™ interactive course is designed to help Scrum practitioners improve their ability to manage the Product Backlog. Throughout the course, students develop and improve their methods for managing a Product Backlog to better determine and make transparent what is most valuable to stakeholders and priorities for the product that the Scrum Team is working on.
