Product Owner Track: Stacking the Deck In Your Favor

SCRUM CAN HELP

Scrum can enable an organization to reduce risk, make better decisions, and deliver more value in less time. The capabilities for a Scrum team being able to improve speed to market, gather high quality feedback, and be able to create products that delight customers rests with the Product Owner. The journey of becoming a truly effective Product Owner covers many areas of practice and understanding.

THE TIP OF THE PRODUCT ICEBERG

Certification trainings are an introduction to Scrum. The essential ideas of crafting and prioritizing backlog items are initially simple, though business today faces accelerating rates of change, diverging stakeholder needs, and increasing pressure for team’s to be efficient. Creating and delivering high quality products that amaze has never been more challenging. Product Owners need far more than the basics, they need to plunge deep below the tip of the iceberg to topics including Lean, queueing theory, options and scenarios, deliberate discovery, and be able to lead others with them.

FOCUS ON THE RIGHT THING AND IGNORE THE REST

For organizations and individuals who see increased agility as their path forward, the Scrum Academy: Product Owner Track from Interaction Agility and ProSearch is a series of workshops for Product Owners. The learning materials are pragmatic and proven. All content has been refined from over a decade of experience across sectors and sizes of organization.
