Product Owner novice

Best way to learn is to attend local meet-ups, take in-person classes, get certified, attend Agile conferences and then work on a Scrum Team. There is no substitute for real world experience but there are a ton of free resources on this website. Study everything under the PO Learning Path.

Thank you Mark Adams. I have already finished my PSM I and PSPO I. I am hoping to make a career change, so would like to be as prepared as I could for taking on the role of a PO. My Bank does not employ Agile/Scrum, and there is not really an opportunity to have hands on experience, so I am looking for some resources where I can get some sort of knowledge and experience from people.  

Not having a Scrum environment is the perfect opportunity for you to build it from the ground up. I once consulted for a client where Agile transformation was not part of the SOW. But I wanted efficiency and didn't like waterfall so I stood up Scrum on my own. Obviously, I needed to make a strong business justification for it and sell it to leadership. But the benefit was that it improved transparency and though the Development Team members didn't see the value, the leaders loved it.

@mark adams, we have a same scenario, my current company is still Waterfall, so I journey them to Agile Transformation.

If I understand Ana correctly, the bank is not developing themselves, but are customer to a service provider.

I assume building agile from within the customer will not be the easiest journey. Espescially as banks are often dinosaurs and most customers prefer fixed prices and timelines

I am interested in this question and I will wait for some competent answers
