Product Owner Coaching

The keyword in the product owner role is value! We often refer to the product owner as the Chief Value Officer because they are accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the scrum team.

This could be done in different ways across organizations, teams, and individuals.
Although there is no prescriptive way, there are several good practices to be used by product owners.

In this training, we will learn these good practices that product owners who are successful have used to deliver value to their customers and stakeholders. Sign up: https://projectmanagementdoctor.com/productowner


We will learn about roadmapping, backlog preparation, backlog refinement, communicating the product goal, creating, and communicating product backlog items, ordering product backlog items, and how to make a backlog transparent, visible and understood.

For product owners to succeed in their work, the entire organization should respect their decisions. In order to be respected one must display confidence and knowledge and whatever one is talking about.

The decisions that product owners make are visible in the content of the backlog and the ordering of the backlog.

Also the increment at Sprint review serves as a good gauge of the effectiveness of decisions product owners make.
Because the product owner is one person and not a committee, their approach to work with the team is always on full display and very transparent. It is therefore important for product owners to possess key skills needed to work with stakeholders effectively craft the vision, road map, backlog, stories, and other artifacts on a case-by-case basis! Join us to learn all these things and more.

Since SCRUM was introduced, it has become an effective development framework. Agile product owners are part of the three SCRUM roles and are important to the development process because they are leaders and act as leaders at every level. Product ownership entails much more than simply owning a product. In this coaching course, we explain what product ownership is, why it’s important and the product owner’s responsibilities.

We will also walk through product ownership responsibilities and equip you with knowledge and ideas to more successful at it in your organization. This is a MUST-attend for anyone who believe they have a skillset for product ownership. The keyword in the product owner role is value!

Agile Training for the PMP Exam

I often say Agile is not a methodology. It is a mindset, a way of thinking and a way of life for those who truly are agile. Have you seen people that pretend to be Agile, but they’re something different?

 

We commonly encounter people who pretend to be Agile, but they’re something else. All the time, it’s that Agile in name only kind of situation where they’re doing Daily standups and maybe they’re doing Sprint Planning, and that means they’re doing Agile. However, they’re still doing all the Waterfall, traditional phased approach, and all the significant planning upfront, which really kind of defeats the purpose. Many people have this pretense. If they are still doing Waterfall, just be honest about it. Don’t call it what it’s not; don’t say it’s Agile. So many people are new to Agile. They’ve heard of Kanban but are just discovering the nuances and process of Agile.

 

Some folks and organizations fear the Agile terrain, which has a basic framework of Scrum. The two most basic frameworks of Agile are Scrum and Kanban. There’s really nothing to be concerned or afraid of. Let’s explore more Agile because it very well could be HUGE on your PMP Exam!
