Opleiding: Scrum: Scrum Product Owner (English)
Learn the skills of Product Ownership and prepare for the official Professional Scrum Product Owner certificate exam!
What does the Scrum Product Owner training entail?
During the Professional Scrum Product Owner training, the essence and principles of Agile and Scrum are introduced. Subsequently, the responsibilities of the Product Owner are discussed. The Product Owner works with the rest of the team and other players inside and outside the organization to deliver the highest possible value. A Product Owner can grow into a true entrepreneur within the organization in his or her role.
Scrum is the most popular and common Agile way of working that is based on Toyota's Lean method. This framework was invented by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber for software development and has been used since 1995 . At Scrum, the emphasis is on communication with the customer, the Team Member and other stakeholders. The Professional Scrum Owner training is suitable for IT and non-IT projects within organizations. According to research firm Standish Group, nearly 80% of European organizations plan to adopt Agile and Scrum in the near future.
Within Scrum there are only 3 roles; the Product Owner, the Scrum Master and the Team Member. As a Product Owner you deal with questions such as:
- How do I make sure my team delivers real value to customers?
- How do I ensure successful products and services to contribute to the success of my organization?
- How do I ensure optimal collaboration within the team and with the rest of the organization?
...and much more.
The Product Owner works closely with the team and the Scrum Master to bring the project to a successful conclusion. The Product Owner stimulates the team to get the best out of itself. He or she has a mandate on behalf of the organization and is therefore ultimately responsible for the product to be delivered. Furthermore, the Product Owner is always aware of the project status.
