Scrum is an agile development method that removes barriers between your customers and the development team. Using the Scrum approach, your organization will more easily meet market and customer needs while attaining its ROI objectives for your project. As a trained Product Owner you will help improve the quality of life and productivity for all members of the business and development team. Implementing Scrum boosts productivity, unleashes creativity, provides “quick wins” for your team, and improves the quality of your software.
This two-day Product Owner certification course provides everything you need to be an effective customer to a Scrum team. On completion, participants are registered as Certified Product Owners (CSPOs), which includes a 2-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, (www.scrumalliance.org) where valuable materials and information are available exclusively to CSPOs.
You will learn the essential concepts and tools of Scrum, differences between agile processes and traditional "waterfall" methodologies, and how your particular role as a business customer will change when interacting with Agile teams. Participants will learn how to effectively manage and prioritize product backlogs, plan releases and sprints, track and report progress, and scale Scrum to program-level efforts.
This course is taught by leading Agile practitioners with decades of real-world industry experience at companies ranging from small businesses to the Fortune 100. Exercises, demonstrations, facilitated discussions, case studies, tool and template examples, and more are interwoven throughout the course to illustrate the principles being taught in a comprehensive fashion interactively tailored to each class’s particular needs.
Business customers, product managers, and line managers aiming to maximize the benefit that they receive from their agile projects by learning how to better prioritize and interface with agile teams should attend.
Successful attendees receive Scrum training materials, a 2-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, and are eligible to take an exam which will qualify them as Certified Product Owner (CSPO) upon successful completion. In addition, the class is eligible for 16 PDU credits with the Project Management Institute (PMI).
