Scrum Product Owner Certification

The Scrum Product Owner certification is suited for anyone with an experience in Project Management who is seeking to study the Scrum product owner techniques and increase an awareness of scrum methodologies and the use of it.

This 2 day Scrum Product Owner certification demonstrates your capability to recognise Scrum principles, practices and requests and apply this information to a direct scrum team.

The Scrum Product Owner will guarantee that the work supported by the Scrum members is highlighted and that the production of the work is highly efficient. This means that the Scrum Product Owner is accountable for the general success of the project.

The Scrum Product Owner is typically a project’s key stakeholder. Part of the product owner responsibilities is to have a vision of what he or she wishes to build, and convey the vision to the scrum team. This is key to successfully starting any agile software development project.

Whether you are new to Agile principles and have an idea of what Scrum is, or have already spent time involved with teams talking about or implementing Scrum, taking on Scrum team’s Product Owner role can be a daunting prospect.

The role of the Scrum Product Owner is crucial to the overall Scrum team, acting as the liaison between the development team and the wider customer community.

An effective Scrum Product Owner will work collaboratively with stakeholders to define the overall product vision and is responsible for communicating that vision to the team and motivating the team to deliver a high quality product.

The Product Owner is responsible for creating and maintaining the product Backlog and is a key contributor to the Sprint Planning and Review Meetings.

The Scrum Product Owner can help maximise delivery capabilities, enhance the planning and scheduling process, improve project estimation and drive overall product success.
