The Power of the Product Owner

Combine presentation and interactive experiences to shift from project to product thinking and understand product ownership

This one-day product owner training course dives into all things product owner by helping current and future PO’s understand their significant place within agile product teams. Participants gain an understanding how product management, discovery, and validation practices fuel product success and agility. They also learn strategies for leading teams from this position of influence versus authority.

Unlike traditional training, this course challenges participants to listen, practice, and even question these methods. Our instructors use real-life experiences to help explain both successes and failures they have seen while working as product owners and product coaches.
