Product management is often a murky role:

• Poorly understood and inconsistently practiced across tech companies – and often confused with program and project management.

Yet done well, product management is a driver of market success and effective development.

Agile teams building commercial software have additional role confusion between product owners and sometimes-agile product managers.

Im this session Rich Mironov (LinkedIn profile) outlines product management basics, contrasts them with project/program management, and matches this to scrum-defined product ownership.

Attendees will get a better sense of what product managers do, and how we can work together more effectively.

Agile has grown from a buzz-word in the industry, to the dominant approach being used in software projects.

With this evolution in software development, comes the need for standardization and certification.

The Agile certification market has grown extensively over the last several years with new organizations entering the mix, and established organizations adding to their Agile certification portfolio.

This growth has led to a great deal of confusion, inundating consumers with choices, and leaving the individual with an important question for their career – Which Agile certification is right for me?

In this one-hour presentation Tom McGraw (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the components of a traditional, credible certification program.

Tom will then review the most popular Agile certifying bodies in the marketplace and give details on steps to achieve selected Agile certifications, helping you determine which, if any, is appropriate for you.
