Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced

Live Virtual Class, May 19-20, 2021

Class Overview

pspoa

The two-day Product Owner Professional - Advanced (PSPO-A) course aims to help experienced practitioners develop their ability to establish a solid vision, validate their assumptions, and ultimately bring more value to their stakeholders. 

The course goes beyond the topics explored in the Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) class by deepening the attendee's understanding of the role through the exploration of the many stances of a professional Product Owner. This course is an interactive, experiential workshop where attendees explore topics through a series of exercises and discussions. Students should have at least one year of Product Owner experience and a practical knowledge of Scrum in order to participate in and benefit from these exercises.  Having previously taken the PSPO class is recommended, but not required.

The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Product Owner II certification exam (PSPO II).

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Product Owner’s role is multifaceted, requiring the practitioner to engage in behaviours and adopt mindsets beyond the core of Agility and the Scrum Framework. This course surfaces these behaviours 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 a 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 a common purpose
  • Collaborator - seeking input, ideas and feedback from others
  • Decision Maker - focusing on creating maximum impact by making clear choices and decisions 

Course Objectives

  • Students are provided with a clear path to moving forward in their Product Owner journey through an exploration of the different stances a Product Owner takes.
  • Students learn about the various types of stakeholders that Product Owners represent and how to best work with them.
  • Students will gain a better understanding of how to use vision, value, and validation to create a competitive advantage for any product.
  • Students are introduced to modern complementary practices through discussions, case studies, and exercises.

Course Topics

  • Understanding your products
  • Who are your customers?
  • Connecting product features to customer outcomes
  • Communicating the product vision and strategy
  • Value and pricing models

MEET THE TRAINERS

Every Scrum Facilitators training is facilitated by two experienced trainers. 

Kai Stevens

Hi everyone, I'm Kai Stevens - a passionate product owner with over 12 years of Product Owner experience in different environments and a drive to build game-changing (software) products together with inspiring people. In the past years, I have worked with several development teams on challenging products. I am experienced in all aspects of product ownership ranging from vision and strategy all the way down to the tactics. You will find me pushing the limits to release early and often to validate assumptions and deliver value at a rapid pace. When working with me you will experience a compelling WHY at any time while I leave the HOW to others with clear boundaries to become successful. Besides my work as a product owner, I also run my own company: The Product Owner Coach. The mission of The Product Owner Coach is to help other product owners grow further in this beautiful but challenging role. The workshops and training I provide tap right into my daily experience as a product owner which helps bridging theory to daily practise in reality.

Sjoerd Kranendonk

Hi! I am a seasoned practitioner, and while I have not filled a Product Owner role myself, I have always had a keen interest in all things Product and putting the human side of Product Management first. I am powered by curiosity and energy that transfers equally in person and on screen. Assumptions are part of our human nature, and Scrum and its Empirical nature help us get those assumptions clear, collaborate to validate or dispel them as a team, and use the information we learn to make better decisions and build more valuable products.
