Agile Product Management - Certified Product Owner Training: IN-HOUSE ONLY

Agile methods promise early, continuous and accelerating return on investment for stakeholders and a high level of job satisfaction for teams. Agile methods are appropriate for a variety of projects including program development, materials development, new product development, IT projects and software development outsourcing. In this three-day course, you will learn the foundational skills of agile process facilitation and project management, focused on the role of the Product Owner (also known as: Agile Project Manager, Process Facilitator, Team Coach).

What is the Product Owner?

The Product Owner holds the final authority for determining the value, priority and details of all work done by an Agile team. The Product Owner wields this authority by virtue of a deep knowledge of the goal and end results desired as well as a respected position among all the stakeholders.

What You Will Learn:

In this 3-Day course participants learn how to guide a team, a project, or an organization into a process of rapid delivery of valuable results. Exercises, case studies, and examples are used to assist participants to develop the knowledge, skills, capabilities and insights needed to make the shift from traditional management practices to Agile practices.

In this workshop you will learn:
• agile project management practices that enable hyper-productive projects;
• how to use and thrive using the product backlog, the primary tool of the Product Owner
• agile processes and facilitation tools that improve the productivity of the team;
• agile collaboration methods to remove the barriers between the team and the customer; and,
