Course Overview

In addition to the Scrum Master, another key role on the Scrum team is the Product Owner, who provides the business vision and requirements for the service and/or product. The Product Owner plays a vital part on the Scrum team by ensuring: 

• Stories are defined to accurately describe user needs 
• Team members understand the value of the work to be done 
• The Team backlog of work is carefully prioritised 
• The “Definition of Done” is clear and well understood 

This two-day Agile Scrum Product Owner certification course will provide you with the core concepts and practices of Agile and Scrum. It will also equip you with knowledge of the fundamental Product Owner accountabilities and responsibilities, as well as the skills for how to effectively manage the product backlog. 

Throughout this course, you will learn about the core concepts and practices intrinsic to being an Agile Scrum Product Owner. This course also fully prepares you for the exam leading to the Agile Scrum Product Owner certification.

SFIA Skills and Industry Accreditation 

This course enables participants to develop their knowledge and proficiency in the following Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA®) professional skills:

• METL: Methods and Tools
• PROD: Product Management
• ITMG: Technology Service Management
• REQM: Requirements definition and management
• RLMT: Stakeholder Relationship Management

This list gives the core SFIA skills covered by the course. Elements relevant to other SFIA skills may also be included to a lesser depth. Proficiency in a SFIA skill is measured by performance assessment and is achieved through actual substantial use of that skill in a real-world situation over some time. In course assignments and exercises undertaken through a course can demonstrate elements of the relevant skills which can then be further developed back in the workplace.  Acquiring new skills and building on existing skills, ideally occurs within the context of an agreed development plan for each person that ensures that their personal circumstances, strengths and development needs are met.
