CLASS DESCRIPTION

How do you go from the product vision to a product backlog? This interactive course teaches you the essential knowledge to work as a Product Owner in Scrum.

The Product Owner creates the product vision, sets the product goal, and leads the effort to transform the vision into a successful product. The Product Owner steers and guides the Scrum team, bridges the gap between customers, business and development, and is responsible for reaching the product goal and return on investment (ROI).

Through simulations, workshops and exercises, you will learn how you can leverage Scrum to optimize value creation and customer satisfaction. You will learn how to create a product vision, create and manage the product backlog, prioritize the product backlog, create a realistic release plan, and progressively refine requirements. As a Product Owner, your responsibility is to ensure value is delivered early and often. This course will provide you the knowledge and understanding to support, advocate, and implement incremental product delivery.

Scrum transforms the way work gets done, and the Product Owner plays a key role in transforming the business to support regular delivery of value to your customers.

Through a combination of immersive team-based learning, exercises, and real-world case studies, you will learn how to:

•  Plan, initiate and lead a Scrum project
• Develop the initial Product Backlog
• Improve the identification of Business Value
• Establish a shared vision for the entire team
• Generate an agile release plan utilizing user stories and story point estimation
• Manage the Gap between customer expectations and the Team's ability to deliver
• Improve business value engineering
• Balance new features against digging out of technical debt
• Refactor the Product Backlog continuously
• Lead the Team and yet have the Team remain self-managing
• Work with Stakeholders to make them more effective
• Leverage the facilitation and leadership skills of the ScrumMaster

 The topics covered include:

• Scrum Overview
• Roles and Responsibilities
• The Essential Product Owner
• Building the Product Backlog
• Creating and Maintaining the Release Plan

Attendees who successfully complete the 2-day class will receive a paid 2-year membership in the Scrum Alliance and will listed as Certified Scrum Product Owners by the Scrum Alliance.
