OVERVIEW
SCRUM Product Owner training is designed to confirm applicant’s practical and working knowledge of SCRUM that equips them to handle the business aspects and stakeholders in an SCRUM environment. SCRUM Product Owner represents the interests of the stakeholders in the SCRUM Team. Commonly called ‘the voice of the customer’, the SCRUM Product Owner is responsible for ensuring clear communication of product or service functionality requirements. The SCRUM Product Owner also prioritizes the requirements from the point of view of an end user, for maximum business benefit, defines the acceptance Criteria and ensuring those criteria are met.
BENEFITS
Implementing an SCRUM project management practice improved their ability to manage changing priorities. SCRUM is perfect for any project that requires a series of versions or iterations that need to be reviewed and improved on until the final product is ready for prime time. For example, instead of waiting six months for a deliverable that is either flawed or no longer meeting the current requirements, SCRUM lets you produce a first draft within as little as two weeks (or less) for immediate feedback—and from here you can improve upon each version until it’s complete. There are a lot more benefits to using SCRUM.
- SCRUM is evolutionary, giving teams an opportunity to learn with each new iteration or draft
- SCRUM lets teams deliver a prototype and improve upon it with every cycle
- Teams can manage shifting priorities more effectively
- This fast and flexible process increases productivity
- SCRUM supports regular and collaborative troubleshooting
- The inherent collaborative nature of SCRUM improves project visibility
- SCRUM helps teams and individuals effectively prioritize work and features
- Teams can anticipate incoming project changes
- Teams can make quick-course corrections based on stakeholder feedback
- Teams can prototype a solution or process for the next version of the project
- Stakeholders and clients can provide feedback as the project evolves—without holding the project up (because the feedback is part of the process)
- Teams get rapid feedback from each version or iteration
- Empowers project teams to work creatively and effectively
