Virtual Certified Scrum Product Owner® (Online: 4 Days)

COVID-19 Update (this course has been altered to be online in the format of 4 day / 3 hour per day sessions, with 4 total hours of lecture videos to be completed at your leisure prior to the live sessions each day. The videos are short 10-20 min snapshots for the topic).

One of the most important things to learn when practicing Scrum is how to build a great Product Backlog with your team. The Product Backlog is the tool that provides transparency to the team's work to ensure we optimize the business value delivered.

The Product Owner is accountable for managing the Product Backlog, however, Scrum is not very prescriptive over how the Product Owner manages the backlog. There are explicit rules however to keep in mind when deciding how to prioritize work for your team as well as validating their work during the sprints.

This workshop will fully immerse Product Owners to understand their role and responsibilities in Scrum. In addition, we will cover practical ways to apply the theory through team exercises and hands on learning with real examples.

At the end of this course you will be able to:

• Comprehend the agile ideas and principles and how they apply to Scrum
• Develop a clear project charter that inspires and motivates a team
• Define the product backlog and transform epics and themes into actionable user stories
• Apply a methodical approach for prioritizing items in the product backlog
• Get a clear view of individual roles, responsibilities and how they interact
• Produce accurate plans for fixed-scope and fixed-date projects using velocity ranges
