Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced

The Product Owner role contains a plethora of strategic and operational perspectives, and often requires conscious engagement to not stifle innovation, decision making or value maximization. This class explores how to enact this role from different viewpoints beyond what’s explored in the PSPO course, where focus was: defining and quantifying value; installing and enacting leadership that invites innovation & creativity; and filling the Product Management Vacuum.

The PSPO-A course is aimed to those who want to develop their skills in establishing a solid vision, validate their hypotheses and delivering even more value to stakeholders. PSPO-A is for Product Owners wanting to advance their knowledge and skillset to the next level.

Learning Objectives

• Customer Representative – focused on understanding customer problems, challenges and potential opportunities

• Experimenter – focusing on innovation, hypothesis testing and validating potential value to spark product innovation
• Influencer – communicating with and influencing stakeholders, customers and the Scrum Team to act with common purpose
• Collaborator – seeking input, ideas and feedback from others
• Decision Maker – focusing on creating maximum impact by making clear choices and decisions
