Product
Owner
Are you leading product teams? A Product Owner determines what to do and why, balancing experiments to reduce risk with the delivery of tangible business outcomes. While agile teams might go fast, they can quickly go to the wrong place without a competent driver.
This course is based on decades of hands-on work helping our clients build high-performance organisations. It is purposefully NOT a certified course, as we believe in sharing practical expertise from the coalface, not just classroom theory.
Overview
We emphasize how Product Owners manage the delivery of tangible business value and how they help ensure work is aligned with strategic business goals. You will gain practical tools to foster collaboration with stakeholders, ensuring that product development is focused on the most impactful features and aspects.
We will work through a real business scenario from concept to vision, rapid experimentation, customer testing and refinement into a Product Backlog of deliverable chunks of value. You will come away with practical, hands-on skills that you can put into practice straight away, all based on how we coach, mentor and grow product owners in our daily consulting work.
Join us to enhance your ability to steer product development towards delivering real value.
