Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced

The Product Owner’s role is multifaceted, requiring the practitioner to engage in behaviors and adopt mindsets beyond the core of Agility and the Scrum Framework. This course surfaces these behaviors by challenging the student to adopt several different Product Owner stances:

Customer Representative – focused on understanding customer problems, challenges and potential opportunities

Visionary – communicating the vision, future state and possibilities in ways that foster common understanding

Experimenter – focusing on innovation, hypothesis testing and validating potential value to spark product innovation

Influencer – communicating with and influencing stakeholders, customers and the Scrum Team to act with common purpose

Collaborator – seeking input, ideas and feedback from others

Decision Maker – focusing on creating maximum impact by making clear choices and decisions

This 2-day Professional Product Owner – Advanced (PSPO-A) course focuses on helping experienced practitioners expand their ability to establish a solid vision, validate their hypotheses, and ultimately deliver more value to their stakeholders.
