Professional Scrum Product Owner

How to maximize the value of a product?

This course is appropriate for students in any industry where teams are working to solve complex problems. The Professional Scrum Product Owner course is for:

• Professionals interested in starting a career as a Product Owner
• Product Owners with some experience in the role that are looking to improve their understanding or fix their misconceptions of Scrum and the Product Owner role
• Scrum Masters wishing to be an effective coach to Product Owners will also find valuable insights in this course

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. 

In this two day class students will develop and solidify their knowledge of the Scrum framework and the accountabilities of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. Students learn techniques that they can use to help them overcome the challenges that are often encountered on a day-to-day basis. They will do this while learning better ways to work with the organization, stakeholders, customers and their team to provide greater value in the product being delivered. Even experienced Product Owners learn many well proven techniques that could help them to maximize the value of their product.    

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. They are also entitled to a discount on the PSPO II assessment once passing PSPO I.

A lively mixture consisting of presentations, discussions, team-based exercises, and case studies with real-world examples makes this training entertaining and effective. The trainers Martina and Ravi bring several decades of practical experience as an agile Product Owner to the table having worked at Europe's most valuable technology company (SAP), for the UK government, for health care, banks and parcel delivery companies. They love to talk lively about their wealth of experience. Check out what previous students from Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Switzerland, and Spain gave as feedback for Martina's and Ravi's trainings:  

The training takes place in English language with English materials. The trainers also speak German and Hindi.
