Product Owners:
The Key to Success

Strong Product Ownership is key to successful Agile projects. Our Product Owner Course gives Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and other stakeholders the knowledge of Scrum principles and practices they need to successfully drive an agile team.

Danube approach to stakeholder education

Our one-day Product Owner course provides an overview of management in Scrum with a particular focus on driving a scum team to success. In this course we expand upon typical Scrum curriculum (including the Certified Scrum Master Course) and focus on business and organizational issues. Participants can expect to learn about establishing and maintaining a backlog, organizational challenges such as managing large or multiple teams, release planning, metrics, technical debt, and distributed teams.

Course topics include:

• Agile Product Owner Role
• The Backlog (creation and management)
• Finding, Creating, and Writing Stories
• Release Planning
• Working with the Customer/Business/Stakeholders
• Business-Oriented Metrics (including Velocity and Business Value)
• Technical Debt
• Models for large teams
• Transitioning to Agility

As an added value to course participants, Danube reserves two seats at each of its public courses for individuals who have already taken a course from Danube, but would like to take it a second time. This allows participants to brush up on their Scrum basics or attend a session led by a different Certified Scrum Trainer. The offer is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and must be used for the same course as the original (i.e., an individual who completed a CSM course may enroll in another CSM course, but not a Product Owner course). In addition, this offer is only available within the first six months following the original course, so please contact Danube as early as possible to reserve your seat.
