Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills

The Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills course is the newest interactive course from Scrum.org, designed to help Scrum practitioners, Product Owners and Product Managers improve their ability to manage all aspects of the Product Backlog, customer expectations and stakeholder communication.

The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. It is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team. It changes constantly and requires a Product Owner to consider many options when adding to, deleting from, updating, and ordering it.

In this one-day skills-building course, participants will:

• Learn techniques and methods to effectively manage a Product Backlog that clearly expresses the future vision of the product and brings transparency to what is most valuable for the Scrum Team to work on to delight stakeholders and customers.
• Get hands-on experience with refinement techniques such as decomposing and slicing Product Backlog items, while learning how simplicity can cure complicated and complex Product Backlogs.
• Be able to connect the Product Goals they are investing in to the work being done to ensure that they are delivering value as well as how to understand and manage their relationships with the stakeholders involved.

The Professional Scrum Trainer delivering this course will bring hands-on experience, knowledge and case studies to better aid participants apply the tools, techniques and practices in their own context.
