As more companies adopt agile methods, the role of the product owner becomes ever critical in the rapid development of products. Traditionally, a project manager gathers requirements in the usual ways and manages a team as they execute the requirements,; usually, there is very little or no contact with the customer and/or end users in these traditional scenarios.

Agile changes this in that the product owner directly and continuously works with the development team members throughout the course of the project. Whereas a traditional project manager would make decisions about scope, time and cost, product owners now own these decisions real-time in the agile world.

This course introduces the product owner to Scrum as well as helps them understand their role and responsibilities in helping the team deliver high-quality software that meets users’needs. This course results in the Certified Scrum Product Owner™ (CSPO) Certificate.

Course Level: Intermediate

Target Audience: Product managers, business analysts, “upstream” team members like procurement, sales.

3. Participants will learn how to align work to business goals and products, and “resourcing” the agile way.

5. Participants will learn different techniques for estimation for different points in time in the project.
6. Participants will learn the importance of a well-organized, prioritized product backlog.
7. Participants will learn how agile teams write “requirements”, as well as their role in product visioning, creating effective road-maps, marrying results and adapting plans to market/customer needs, release/iteration planning and acceptance of product at a sprint review.
