Course

The role of the product owner is often overlooked, and it is the main reason why Scrum teams struggle. I remember a colleague trainer mentioned that he does ten times more scrum master courses than product owner courses. There is simply not enough focus in the industry on doing Agile product management well.

But project success is twofold. If a Scrum team is like a car then the Product Owner is like a driver – you clearly need a well-performing vehicle and an experienced pilot. Without the product owner, your Agile teams will go nowhere fast.

This course looks at the other side of Scrum – product visioning, release and strategy planning, requirements gathering and customer experience design. The course can work as a refresher, or as a starter. People who have attended my classes twice admit that they had learnt something new on both occasions. And let’s not forget about getting certified – it can become an important milestone and a springboard for your career.
