Agile Scrum Product Owner

AGILE SCRUM OVERVIEW

The Agile approach has changed the face of software and product development and project management, and in recent years, has also increased demand for professionals with Agile knowledge, skills, and experience.

Scrum is one of the methodologies within Agile and is a must-know for IT practitioners, including those in IT service management and IT operations. Within Agile Scrum there are various roles that are required to execute this approach effectively.

Not familiar with Agile Scrum? Read the recently updated creators’ guide for a very important look of the methodology. Or watch/listen to Pink’s webinar that provides an overview.

To guide IT practitioners on their Agile journey, Pink Elephant’s comprehensive Agile Scrum portfolio of courses provides an all-encompassing look at the Agile framework and role-based certification courses, specific to the roles within Agile.

COURSE OVERVIEW

In addition to the Scrum Master, another key role on the Scrum team is the Product Owner, who provides the business vision and operational requirements for the service and/or product. The Product Owner plays a vital part in the Scrum team by ensuring:

  • Stories are defined to accurately describe user needs

  • The Team backlog of work is carefully prioritized
  • The “Definition of Done” is clear and well understood
  • The ‘acceptance criteria’ is clear and agreed-upon
  • A basic understanding of how to scale Scrum

This two-day Agile Scrum Product Owner certification course will provide you with the key concepts and practices of both Agile and Scrum. It will also equip you with knowledge of the fundamental Product Owner accountabilities and responsibilities, as well as prepare you to effectively manage the product backlog.

Throughout this course, you will learn about the core concepts and practices intrinsic to being an Agile Scrum Product Owner. This course also fully prepares you for the exam leading to the Agile Scrum Product Owner certification.
