Why is this course important?

Many teams and organisations are adopting Scrum to dramatically improve their ability to create products and services. However, Agile teams need to be shaping and delivering the "right" outcomes for their users, customers and business stakeholders. The Product Owner is a critical piece of this puzzle and at the heart of every successful Scrum team.

This Certified Scrum Product Owner course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and practices of Agile and Scrum and then focuses on how to shape a product or solution and collaborate effectively with Scrum teams.

Topics covered include:

• An introduction to Agile and Scrum
• Scrum Accountabilities
• Product Vision and Roadmaps
• Building Customer Empathy
• Validating Assumptions
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Building and maintaining the Product Backlog
• Backlog Ordering to maximise value
• Release Planning
• Scrum Team and Product Owner collaboration
• Progress tracking and forecasting

Schedule

This course is live and online and has plenty of interaction and practical content packed into a 2-day schedule, 9:00am - 17:00pm. There will be regular breaks for tea and coffee and to stretch your legs.

What do I need to take part in this course?

The most obvious thing you will need is a good WiFi and Internet connection with a nice quiet environment for you to both hear and also interact with your fellow course attendees and us lovely trainers! Don't worry about the odd child/dog/cat/partner wondering past or interrupting occasionally, we'll just roll with it :-)

We recommend a laptop or desktop with good sound and microphone. Course participants have struggled on phones and tablets. We will be using Zoom for the video conference functionality with a waiting room and password configured to provide a reasonable level of security. If you can, we recommend installing the Zoom app on your device but the web version should work as a plan B.

Course Outcomes

Following successful completion of the course, each participant will become a Certified Scrum Product Owner (certification fee is included in the course fee). There is no exam for this course, full attendance and completion of the group exercises are the only prerequisites for certification. This certification includes a two year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional member-only material and information is available.

An electronic version of course slides, materials and workshop output will also be provided after the course closes.
