Audience
The PSPO course may be interesting to all involved in software development upon the Scrum framework, but has been specifically conceived for those responsible over products from a business and product management perspective and taking up the highly accountable role of Scrum Product Owner.
The training is also designed for Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches who want to effectively educate their Product Owners.
Being a professional Product Owner encompasses more than writing requirements or managing a Product Backlog. Product Owners need to have a concrete understanding of all product management aspects, including but not limited to product ownership, that drives value from their products.
The 2-day Professional Scrum Product Owner course focuses on all of these areas to teach students how to maximize the value of software products and systems. PSPO is the cutting-edge course for Product Owners, Agile product managers and anyone responsible for a software product’s success in the market. In this course, students will develop and solidify their knowledge of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. The breadth of the role’s responsibilities in delivering a successful product will become more clear from an Agile perspective. Metrics are identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace. The PSPO course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.
Students are challenged to think in terms of Scrum and the Scrum principles to better understand what to do when they return to their workplaces, and their specific challenges.
- Students will have a clear understanding of the mechanics of Scrum and how the Product Owner role fits in.
- Students can act as a Product Owner for Scrum Teams and stakeholders.
- Students can effectively increase the business agility of their organization.
A Product Owner is responsible for product moving in the right direction and for Developers doing the RIGHT things. This is what makes a Product Owner the most important person in the whole Scrum Team - if wrong decisions are made, even a technically perfect product will turn out to be a failure and will not meet the needs and expectations of users and stakeholders.
This is an intensive 2-day workshop which provides the knowledge and skills to enable a Product Owner to develop necessary/required competencies to efficiently manage a product so as to maximise business value. The course will provide the maximum level of practical knowledge on the use of Scrum: to make a product effectively and to validate/corroborate the business and technical decisions.
