In the Scrum product development framework, the Product Owner is responsible and accountable for value provided by the product and for guiding and helping the Development Team build a product that delights the customer, provides value to the customer, and for managing the release of that product. The Product Owner must manage many relationships among stakeholders, organization managers, customers, product users, and the product development team, and the Product Owner must navigate the organization to understand the complex political processes and how to manage them. Traditionally, trained project and product managers are responsible for these duties, but in Scrum, that responsibility falls to the Product Owner
Scrum provides a way to directly and effectively manage the product development through its Intuitive and lightweight process. Scrum delivers completed increments of the product at rapid, regular intervals, and the Product Owner manages the creation of the work through a Scrum artifact, the Product Backlog. The Product Backlog is a placeholder of features the Product Owner and others desire in the product and these items are ordered according to value, cost, and risk criteria. The Scrum Development Team relies upon the Product Backlog to help guide it in building the most valuable functionality first and to mitigate risks early in the project.
As the product is developed incrementally, the Product Owner and Development Team refine the Product Backlog to incorporate changing desires and demands from the various stakeholders and to respond to changing business conditions. Scrum’s early and continuous learning and adaptation process can also identify troubled projects early, thus providing for earlier remedial action.
Attendees will learn:
- Practical, proven, and expected Product Owner behaviors, characteristics, and traits
- How to create a viable and useful Product Backlog with user stories and other techniques
- Proven techniques for prioritizing the Product Backlog Tips for working with the Scrum Development Team, stakeholders, management, and others
- Determining value in a product and differentiating outcomes from output
- Forecast delivery and release dates for the product using various techniques
- Tips for managing key variables influencing successful product delivery
- To use Scrum to deliver software and non-software products
- About actual experiences of the instructor in teaching and coaching Product Owners at various companies
