Product Owner training course (English) - Seminar / Kurs von Agile Scrum Group GmbH

The Product Owner is the one who represents the customer in a scrum team. It is an entirely new role that is crucial for a properly functioning scrum team. In the Scrum Product Owner training, you will learn how to surprise your customers and stakeholders with good and quick results from your projects.

Optimising the results for the customer is the most important task of the Product Owner. After following the Product Owner training, you will be fully capable of professionally fulfilling this role. Results after the two-day Product Owner training:

• You will feel confident in executing the role of Product Owner.
• You will have the knowledge that is essential for properly executing the role of Product Owner.
• You will have experienced the role of Product Owner in practical simulations.
• You will directly be of greater value for your own organisation.
• You will go home inspired by the experience and practical examples (in non-IT organisation) of our trainers.
• You will be prepared for the Scrum.org PSPO I exam.

Day 1: What is Agile?

• This component of the training serves as a general introduction into the world of Agile. Scrum and the Product Owner role are directly brought into the bigger picture here.
• The Scrum Framework will be treated before we delve into the Product Owner role. Our trainers have lots of practical experience, by which the theory is supplemented with examples.
• The role of Product Owner: A considerable part of the first day is devoted to the role of the Product Owner. This includes the following questions:
• Creating a vision: Vision is needed in order to achieve results that will delight the customers and other stakeholders. Vision is your responsibility as a product owner.
• Game: Because many people learn best by doing, we will start a game on the first day in which the theory is applied to practice.

Day 2:

• The Product Backlog: You no longer have thick project plans in Scrum. The most important document that is kept by the Product Owner is the Product Backlog.
• Continuation of the Game: The Product Owner game started on the first day and you will proceed with it during the second day.
• Planning releases: Back in the days, you used to deliver your entire project all at once when it was finished. In a scrum project, you would rather deliver a project in small parts. This enables you to obtain more feedback from customers during the period in which the project is running. Planning these “releases” is an important task of the Product Owner.
• Practice exam: We will practice with exam questions of Scrum.org in order to be prepared for the exam as good as possible. Achieving an official certificate through Scrum.org is optional. See the tab “Certification” for more information.

Note: No prior knowledge is needed for this training.
