What you will learn

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 requirements in the form of User Stories. The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution in order to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.

The Professional Scrum Product Owner class focuses on the core expectation for Product Owners and their teams to maximize the value of the work done for a product or service. Metrics are identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace.

In this two day class you will develop and solidify your knowledge of the Scrum framework and the accountabilities of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. You learn techniques that you can use to help you and your team overcome the challenges that are often encountered on a day-to-day basis. You will do this while learning better ways to work with the organization, stakeholders, customers and your team to provide greater value in the product being delivered.

It is particularly beneficial for those people within an organization accountable for getting the most value out of products or services, including Product Owners, Product Managers, managers, and Scrum Team members.

As collaboration is a key factor in the success of any initiative, it is equally important that Scrum Masters and other team members understand the role Product Owners play in maximizing value for its customers and their organization.
