      Agile Product Owner Professional 

      On traditional projects the value or focus on value is often lost or diluted. The responsibility for value falls between a number of actors. The ability to adapt and adjust the delivery team’s efforts to focus on the highest priority of value is often lost within the process and curtailed by inflexible project plans.  is While most of the effort on developing Agile competency on teams have focused on the mindset approach and processes like Scrum, the role and importance of the Product Owner has been somewhat neglected.  The Product Owner is responsible for creating and communicating the vision for the change/ product or service. The Agile team depend on the Product Owner to tell them what is of value to the business and prioritise the backlog of work to achieve that value.  Often the role is misunderstood, not supported or hampered by the greater organisational context. This course focuses on the key skills, aptitude and capabilities a Product Owner requires to effectively delivery value. 

      Learn from a veteran PO the skills of managing & delivering the value, saying no, selling the vision, negotiation with senior stakeholders, value metrics, facilitating the team, accepting delivery as done and many more real-world PO responsibilities. We use workshop case studies to learn and practices the mindset, techniques and competencies you will need to work as a Product Owner.
