🧩 About the Workshop
This 3-hour interactive session puts you in the driver’s seat as a Product Owner.
Your mission: Re-imagine a messaging app that combines the best of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and Threema — and build it using Agile principles.
This isn’t just theory. You’ll create product goals, refine a backlog, write user stories, and get live feedback from fellow professionals.
By focusing on a familiar product space, we remove emotional bias and give space to sharpen your methods and tools — skills that apply directly to your day-to-day work.
🧠 “Invest a few hours in training now to make your everyday work less stressful and more effective.”
