Session hours:

Professional Scrum Product Owner(ship)

Being a professional Product Owner encompasses more than writing requirements or managing a Product Backlog. Product Owners need to have a concrete understanding of all product management aspects, including but not limited to product ownership, that drives value from their products.

Professional Scrum Product Owner focuses on all of these areas to teach students how to maximize the value of products and systems. It explores the worldwide challenge that many Scrum implementations run into, i.e. how should business people and product managers engage in Scrum and collaborate with Scrum Development Teams?

The Professional Scrum Product Owner class focuses on the core expectation for Product Owners to maximize the value of the work done for a product or service, and thereby serving customers, users and the organization.

The breadth of the role’s responsibilities in delivering a successful product will become more clear from an Agile perspective. Metrics are identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace.
