Professional Scrum Product Owner

Learn Professional Product OwnerSHIP To Delivery More Value

Our Professional Scrum Product Owner™ (PSPO) is a hands-on, activity-based two day course where you explore Professional Scrum and develop an understanding of the critical role that Product OwnerSHIP plays on the Scrum Team. The class focuses on the core expectation for teams to maximize the value of their work done for a product, thereby serving customers, users and the organization.

Throughout the class, you learn a number of Scrum Product Ownership practices to use once you leave the classroom while also receiving an introduction to Agile Product Management. After the class, you get the opportunity to connect with peers and thought leaders to empirically and incrementally further develop your skills in agile product management.

• Module 1: Agile Product Management
• Module 2: Value-Driven Development
• Module 3: Scrum Theory & Empiricism
• Module 4: The Scrum Framework
• Module 5: Product Backlog Management
• Module 6: Releases and Forecasting

The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) certification exam.

What you will learn

There are many myths and misconceptions about the role of the Product Owner. The accountabilities of the Product Owner, however, go well beyond managing the Product Backlog and writing requirements in the form of User Stories. The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution in order to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.

The Professional Scrum Product Owner class focuses on the core expectation for Product Owners and their teams to maximize the value of the work done for a product or service. Metrics are identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace.

In this two day class you will develop and solidify your knowledge of the Scrum framework and the accountabilities of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. You learn techniques that you can use to help you and your team overcome the challenges that are often encountered on a day-to-day basis. You will do this while learning better ways to work with the organization, stakeholders, customers and your team to provide greater value in the product being delivered.

Who should attend

The Product OwnerSHIP course is appropriate in any industry where teams are working to solve complex problems. It is particularly beneficial for those people within an organization accountable for getting the most value out of products or services, including Product Owners, Product Managers, managers, and Scrum Team members.

As collaboration is a key factor in the success of any initiative, it is equally important that Scrum Masters and other team members understand the role Product Owners play in maximizing value for its customers and their organization.
