This course is designed specifically to help Product Owners clearly understand their role on an agile team and how they can effectively and efficiently work with the team to create, organize, and maintain a product backlog. This course is a 50/50 ratio of lecture to labs.
Over this 2 day course, students will apply what they learn by first creating a product vision and roadmap. They will then spend a significant amount of time learning how to write effective user stories that can then be estimated and prioritized to aid in release planning. Students will then learn how to prepare for an iteration planning meeting by creating acceptance criteria for prioritized user stories. Near the end of the 2nd day, students will learn how to track and communicate project progress using velocity metrics and release burn-downs.
