Program

Day 1: What is Agile?
  • This component of the training serves as a general introduction into the world of Agile. Scrum and the Product Owner role are directly brought into the bigger picture here.
  • The Scrum Framework will be treated before we delve into the Product Owner role. Our trainers have lots of practical experience, by which the theory is supplemented with examples.
  • The role of Product Owner: A considerable part of the first day is devoted to the role of the Product Owner. This includes the following questions:
      - When are you a good Product Owner?
      - What competences belong to a perfect Product Owner?
      - How do you cooperate with the Scrum Master?
      - What mistakes are often made?
  • Creating a vision: Vision is needed in order to achieve results that will delight the customers and other stakeholders. Vision is your responsibility as a product owner.
  • Game: Because many people learn best by doing, we will start a game on the first day in which the theory is applied to practice.
Day 2:
  • The Product Backlog: You no longer have thick project plans in Scrum. The most important document that is kept by the Product Owner is the Product Backlog.
      What exactly is a Product Backlog?
      - How do you design one?
      - How do you set the right priorities?
  • Continuation of the Game: The Product Owner game started on the first day and you will proceed with it during the second day.
  • Planning releases: Back in the days, you used to deliver your entire project all at once when it was finished. In a scrum project, you would rather deliver a project in small parts. This enables you to obtain more feedback from customers during the period in which the project is running. Planning these “releases” is an important task of the Product Owner.
  • Practice exam: We will practice with exam questions of Scrum.org in order to be prepared for the exam as good as possible. Achieving an official certificate through Scrum.org is optional. See the tab “Certification” for more information.
Note: No prior knowledge is needed for this training.

Certification

After finishing the course, you receive an Agile Scrum Group certificate. If you have chosen to take an exam through Scrum.org or IIABC.org, you also receive an officially certificate that shows that you are qualified to function as a Product Owner.
  1. The International Institute for Agile Business Certification (IIABC.org): The exam you will take after the course is named “Agile Business Advanced – Maximizing Value”. IIABC.org is focused on Agile within non-IT organizations and is an initiative from the Agile Scrum Group. The exam is available in English, German and Dutch.
  2. Scrum.org: You can also take the exam from Scrum.org. You will take the PSPO I exam. If you pass, you’ll earn a certificate indicating that you’re capable of acting as Product Owner. The exams of Scrum.org are focused on applying Scrum within an IT environment. The exams are available in English only.
