Course

Scrum is a simple but powerful agile management framework. Key to its success is the role of the Product Owner: The Product Owner steers and guides the Scrum project, bridges the gap between end customers, business and development/IT and is responsible for the return on investment (ROI). The Product Owner combines the traditional project manager and the product manager roles in one person.

This two-day interactive course equips you with all you need to know about being an effective Product Owner. At the end of the class, you will understand how you can leverage Scrum to optimise value creation and customer satisfaction. You will be able to create a realistic release plan, stock the product backlog, write user stories, refine requirements. You will also know how you can increase productivity, level the workload, and steer the project proactively.

Roman is a great lector and facilitator. His teaching methods are engaging and he is setting the stage quite well. Most of the information however which he shared is widely available for free, but he gave personal advices from experience, which were really beneficial.

Informative, interactive course. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Great mix of interactive exercises and listening, learning from an experienced product owner. Excellent use of visual slides and reference to additional learning, reading, tools and techniques.

This was the best of all trainings I've done. Roman does a great job of bridging theory and practical. He encourages engagement of everyone on training; and this was invaluable for me. I feel confident with the foundation I've got from the training.
