Agile Product Owner

Course Outline

Nowadays the world is changing more rapidly than ever before and requires businesses to adapt more quickly. Red tape, big committees and elaborate change control mechanisms impede business agility. Collaboration and empowerment are needed to be able to embrace this change so bring in the Product Owner catalyst for a steady stream of awesome products!

Product Owners are expected to allow businesses to optimise their value delivery chain, lead development teams and make planning predictable again. The Product Owner is not a committee, governance process or representative. The Product Owner is one person, fully empowered with a product vision.

Mastering the Product Owner role is hard and is about effectively combining different paradigms:

• Top-down Lean product management principles - driven by management to eliminate waste to reduce development cycles and production costs;

• Bottom-up Agile product engineering practices - driven by engineers to incrementally deliver product value using a fast flexible flow;

• Scrum product delivery framework - driven by Scrum Masters for sustainable delivery of complex products based on continuous improvement and empirical process control. 

This course addresses a significant knowledge and experience gap for business people to successfully step into the role of Product Owner using Lean Agile Scrum. For people who are already performing the role of Product Owner and possibly struggling this course can provide opportunities for improvement to become more effective.
