The Value Of What You Will Learn

This 2-day course offers the ultimate in hands-on learning for acting Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Stakeholders and Development Team members looking to up their skill set. This is a deep dive into the role based on the internationally recognised Scrum Guide and the learning objectives of the Scrum Alliance.

This course is designed to be highly practical in its focus and format. It offers a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and experience at an accelerated rate. By exploring real world case studies and effectively applied real world solutions the trainee gains insight that might otherwise take years to achieve.

There is also a clear focus on how the Product Owner role is crucial to all aspects of Scrum. Techniques are shared to improve communication skills, particularly with non-Scrum Team stakeholders, and methods are explained in order to build deeper understanding and empathy. Based on what is learned on this course you will return to the challenge of efficiently managing the product backlog full of confidence.

The Product Owner role can be challenging, but it is essential that the PO is resolute within the Scrum framework so that a product will be efficiently delivered to the marketplace.
