Details of the training

Scrum is a simple but powerful agile management framework. Key to its success is the role of the Product Owner: The Product Owner steers and guides the Scrum project, bridges the gap between end customers, business and development/IT and is responsible for the return on investment (ROI). The Product Owner combines the traditional project manager and the product manager roles in one person.

This two-day interactive course equips you with all you need to know about being an effective Product Owner. At the end of the class, you will understand how you can leverage Scrum to optimize value creation and customer satisfaction. You will be able to create a realistic release plan, stock the product backlog, write user stories, and systematically refine requirements. Additionally, you will know how you can increase productivity, level the workload, and steer the project proactively.

Upon successful completion of this course, each participant will be enrolled as a Certified Product Owner, which includes a one-year Scrum Alliance membership, where additional ScrumMaster and Product Owner material and information is available.

* How to be an effective Product Owner
