Course

Why attend this particular course?

Specially designed as THREE HALF-DAY sessions to more easily fit your existing schedule while also aiding integration and retention.

Of course you'll learn everything essential to be a Product Owner.

But this course is different...

It isn't just a series of group-based activities to learn the Events, Artefacts, etc, perhaps with a fun game at the end.

What makes this course special?

You'll experience using Scrum in an ideal, non-software environment.

Why is this important?

Whether you're new to Scrum or have been using it for years, the experience of using it to build something different, in an environment facilitated by one of the world's most experienced Master-level coaches, creates the conditions for you to gain as many relevant insights as possible, whatever your current knowledge and experience.

You'll leave with greater confidence from the experience performed in an insight-rich environment.

Another UNIQUE Benefit...

Attending this course gives you FREE lifetime membership of the Open Leadership Network with free resources and webinars as well as 15% discount off all courses on Patterns of Leadership and Change.

Join this course to learn patterns for achieving improvements, whatever situation you're in:

In the early stages of a C-level initiated agile transformation?

In a transformation that's lost momentum?

Need to use Scrum for a fixed-price contract?

Highly regulated industry?

Customising off-the-shelf products?

Migrating off mainframes or other legacy systems?

Manager not very supportive of agile?

Consultant with a client starting an agile project next week and you need to learn how to help them?

Stuart will share simple techniques, developed and honed over decades, to help you make the most of whatever situation you're in.

Course Leader

Stuart Turner is the originator of the unique, fun and highly informative (and much copied) Scrum simulation. One of very few courses that uses a simulation early on, intentionally giving everyone a fidelitous experience of using Scrum and a shared context on which to build. The ordering of events in the course is deliberate, knowing experiential learning permits the deeper lessons and discoveries of the remainder of the course to be better understood, integrated and retained.

We'll experience how using the Scrum framework helps us discover more about our product, team and environment, and how we’re working using the principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Based on what we discover we’ll adapt our product and working practices in the pursuit of improving outcomes.

Further UNIQUE Benefits...

Learn from Stuart's experiences producing products for 30 years, his wealth of insights and stories improving his own organisations, small startups, all the way to dozens of major corporations and organisations, around the world.

Full membership of the Scrum Alliance is included in the course fee.

You will then hold the most valued and recognised qualification in Scrum that will boost your professional standing and prospects.

Teacher provides many scenarios to interact with other members as in a scrum team, provide good techniques and insights for learning and practicing on defining definition of done and deliverying values.

Great program. Everything was well organized. The simulation bring us from a very basic way of thinking to advance.

I selected this course because I liked the idea of spreading the sessions over three days instead of having two full days. For me it worked really well as I could keep the focus without becoming too overwhelmed. Stuart is calm and welcoming. He applies the Scrum philosophy to the whole course - you are not expected to know or realize something right away, you are given the opportunity to reflect and improve your understanding in the next step. I definately got some of my thinking challenged during the course.

great course with a lot of good information and good knowledge to applied to my job

Stuart was very engaging. His method was practical and relatable.

Truly insightful course with very many useful exercises and tips.

helpful and interactive by each of team members

-Only Need additional focusing on: More Practical training in the use of Scrum Tools.Example: The Trainer explains a practical Case as an example for the trainees using scrum Tools.

I think the role of the Product Owner is to maximize the value addition of the products that are developed by the agile scrum team. The Product Owner must ensure that the user stories

Stuart was great at delivering a diverse experience across the 3 days. Found the practical on day 1 really ggod, albeit outside of comfort zone, but that was the intention. Day 2 and 3 was really informative but alot to digest. Otherwise great session.
