Role of a Product Owner in Driving Agile Projects
| Please contact us if you would like to set up a customized training course in your city or at your corporate site. |
Duration: 1 or 2 days
Description: The product owner (PO) serves as the “voice of the customer” and is responsible for collaborating between the business and developers, prioritizing work, and ensuring that the product team delivers value to the business. The PO “drives” Agile project through the core skills of collaborating, prioritizing work, and managing risks to deliver value. He/she is influential in developing the long-term vision of the product, through the product roadmap, and establishing requirements through product backlog. The PO ensures that project risks are managed at release as well as sprint levels. He/she enters risk related activities in the backlog, prioritizes them and creates risk-adjusted backlog. The PO also supports the Scrum Master in developing sprint and release plans. Through all of these activities, product owner drives the Agile project to success.
Many agile team members and product owners do not fully understand this role, and as a result, some of the key activities may fall through the cracks. This workshop includes several hands-on individual and group activities, which will solidify the learning of the PO’s role in attendees’ minds.
