Lead the Product Journey, from bright ideas to happy customers.
Product Owners - Delivering Advanced Product Strategy
You have a strong understanding of the fundamentals of the Product owner role. Yet you recognize an opportunity to grow. If you find yourself seeking:
- To create a more sound business strategy
- Establish a product plan that connects with the vision
- Validate your product hypotheses
- Wrangle complex processes
- Coach others to advance those processes
- Make data-driven decisions based on qualitative and quantitative analysis that drives impact
Then this Advanced Scrum Product Owner workshop is for you! This fun, interactive learning experience is delivered virtually for practicing Product Managers who want to learn how to deliver a quality product reducing technical debt while working with developers. Through a case study-based series of exercises, combined with instruction, students gain the entrepreneurial product leadership skills and practices critical to growing as successful Product Owners.
Such skills are hard to learn via lecture alone - so this workshop is hands-on, interactive, and goes into deep practice. This is no Powerpoint snoozefest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice. You’ll be able to work and learn through half-day sessions delivered once weekly over four weeks, with brief orientation and closing sessions with the instructor. During the four weeks, class exercises will help learners deliver meaningful outcomes for their product and organization.
The workshop includes all the material the Scrum Alliance requires for its Advance Scrum Product Owner certification, along with advanced ideas to focus on the right problem. For example, imagine you’re a Product Owner for a coffee company. You might think your job is to create a new coffee blend monthly. But what if your customers don’t care about new blends? What if they just want their coffee to taste good? By engaging with your customers and discovering their needs, you might find out that they actually care more about the quality of the coffee beans than the blend itself. Armed with this knowledge, you can sequence work to optimize outcomes rather than just outputs - in this case, by focusing on sourcing high-quality coffee beans instead of creating new blends.
