Course

Learn how to be a successful product owner

This course explores the critical role of the product owner in successful product delivery, and gives you the tools to become a better product owner. It’s for product owners, aspiring product owners, and anyone who works with project teams and has responsibility for results.

You’ll be challenged to put theory into practice through a variety of exercises and simulations, and to think through your own product ideas for yourself. As well as learning a range of techniques you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of Scrum and agile principles – not just the how but the why. It’s a potent foundation for working with Scrum and agile in your own organisation.

As Agile ways of working are increasingly adopted by organisations seeking to innovate faster and deliver better products, the majority are using Scrum as their framework. Scrum is a deceptively simple framework, but it is highly adaptive and has a significant impact on traditional organisational models. So if you’re to work successfully with it as a product owner, your knowledge needs to go deeper.

How the course works

On this course you’ll quickly learn about Scrum’s roles, artefacts and meetings. But you’ll also grasp its fundamental underlying principles and the tools and techniques needed to implement it truly successfully. You’ll explore important user-centred techniques that will help you drive product development using metrics and outcomes – in other words, measuring what difference your product actually makes.

The course learning is supported by hands-on exercises and simulations that put the theory into practice. After some initial learning, you will go on to explore your own digital product ideas, before finally working on a product all the way from start to finish – or ‘vision to value’. This will help you understand the entire journey a product goes on before it reaches its customers.

Even people who have been practising Scrum for more than five years have found value in the course. It provides a great foundation in Scrum, agile and lean principles for product owners.

What you’ll come away with

After successfully completing the course, you will be designated as Certified Scrum Product Owner. This Scrum Alliance certification includes a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.

You’ll have learned what a product owner is and how they function within the Scrum framework, and have gained tools and techniques to become a better product owner. You will know how to validate assumptions about a product idea, take the idea forward, understand your customers and manage stakeholders, and work with a product backlog.

Zia is an amazing facilitator and I'm definitely going to cooperate with him in the future on other courses. He ensured the training was practical and took us on a journey of knowledge which I am better for.

Zia was an excellent trainer, keeping to time on the course, but keeping everyone engaged throughout.

Engaging foundational course with lots of activities to apply your learnings!

The training focused on practical aspects to the theoretical concepts of Scrum with adequate break-out collaboration activities.

The training is worth it!

Zia and Mark were brilliant! For a virtual course it was extremely engaging and so insightful. Would highly recommend.

I have learned a lot about Scrum, the Product Owner role, and related concepts. Zia's teaching skills are exceptional, and I truly enjoyed learning from him. It has been a wonderful and valuable learning experience.

Excellent

Zia brought a wealth of knowledge to the sessions and had a fantastic way of keeping the conversation light, flowy, and approachable—making complex concepts easy to grasp. His ability to create a relaxed learning environment while staying deeply informative was truly appreciated.
