Arguably the most important role in a Scrum team is that of Product Owner.

It’s also one of the most challenging. Part of that challenge comes from the agile community itself because the role has been so ill defined to-date. Most Product Owners are sort of thrown into a Scrum team with little guidance regarding the role and responsibilities.

Another part of the challenge is skill and time based. The role is nuanced and requires a broad set of skills and often more time than is available. However, the Product Owner must find a way to serve their team in driving product development.

In this session, Bob Galen will explore the practices and techniques, focus points, and patterns of a great Product Owner. One that serves their team well and effectively balances the demands of external stakeholders against the demands of their team.

Bob will explore:

1. the dynamics of correctly defined Product Backlogs
2. establishing powerful Sprint Reviews
3. approaches for creating a team-view towards filling all aspects of the Product Owner role
4. how the Product Owner drives quality and value in meeting the teams’ commitments to the business.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• An overview of the critical success factors for the Product Owner role in Agile.
• How to construct well-nuanced and balanced Product Backlogs.
• How Product Owners interact with Project Managers, BA’s, and Testers create more effective User Stories and Product Backlogs.

With the Course You Will Receive:

• Access to the Live and Recorded Version of Webinar
• Personlized Certificate of Attendance
• Copy of Presentation Slides
