Explore and learn to apply the accountabilities of the Product Owner and the principles of Professional Scrum. Gain an understanding of the pivotal role the Product Owner plays in bridging strategy and agile product management in order to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.
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 User Stories. The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution in order to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.
Whether you're ready to advance your experience in the industry, or have been thrown in the deep end, the Professional Scrum Product Owner™ course is designed to teach you about product ownership and agile product management.
This is the cutting-edge course for Product Owners, agile product managers and anyone responsible for a product’s success in the market. Over the 2 days, participants 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. The mechanics of the Scrum framework and the accountability of a Professional Scrum Product Owner will be explored. Metrics will be identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace. The ability to maximise value and enhance business agility will be the ultimate learning outcome. The course will further prepare the participants for the globally recognized Professional Scrum Product Owner I certification exam (PSPO I), and includes a free attempt at the same.
The PSPO course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, and in particular in the live-virtual format, participants will work collaboratively on real-life cases with other classmates and learn together as a team. As an experienced senior consultant, I, the trainer, will bring my own journey both as a Product Owner and from coaching Product Owners, to the course, to help you navigate what product ownership can look like for you and your context.
This course is appropriate for people in any industry where teams are working to solve complex problems.
The Professional Scrum Product Owner course is for:
While this course covers an introduction to the Scrum framework, it’s primarily from the perspective of the Product Owner. Therefore, it’s best if the participants come to the course with an understanding of the fundamentals of Scrum, ideally as demonstrated by passing the Scrum Open.
All participants completing the Professional Scrum Product Owner course receive a password to take the Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) assessment. The industry-recognized PSPO I certification requires a minimum passing score of 85%.
PSPO class participants who attempt the PSPO I assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score at least 85% will be granted a second attempt at no additional cost.
You are also entitled to a discount on the PSPO II assessment once passing PSPO I.
