Certified Scrum Product Owner
(2 Days - This course results in a Certified Scrum Product Owner
designation from the Scrum Alliance.)
Overview
This intense interactive training workshop focuses on Scrums Product Owner role, which focuses on visioning, roadmapping, and user stories.
Scrum is a proven lean and agile approach to delivering results, a simple inspect and adapt framework used to organize work for maximum efficiency and effectiveness using three roles, three ceremonies, and three artifacts wherein stories express requirements and tasks express work.
While the Product Owner role is conceptually simple and involves a few guidelines, the role emphasizes a particular mindset. Many product owners enact the role, but dont readily internalize the mindset, and thus dont experience the benefits of the role.
This workshop not only provides participants with the skills for creating compelling visions, actionable roadmaps, and useful requirements using agile techniques, but it also gives participants practical hands-on experience applying these techniques throughout the workshop. Participants will be introduced to agility and create a vision, roadmap, and work with user roles, user stories, and acceptance tests.

This is not mere presentation-based training but a workshop using experiential learning (learning by doing, including robust simulations and discussions). It is facilitated by active practitioners with decades of real-world industry experience, which is used to highlight and expose participants to many common pitfalls. Experiential learning techniques are used to illustrate key concepts in a comprehensive manner that is interactively tailored to the participants particular needs. Participants will not only gain a foundational understanding, but will also gain practical insight around the nuances of putting the techniques into practice to maximize results.

Why the Core Passion Factor?
When you know who you are, you know what to do!
Teams, made up of individuals with diverse skills and interest, succeed when those individuals can talk about themselves and understand what others have to contribute so that communication is authentic. This section will offer an opportunity for participants to learn more about their own Core Passion - the driving force within each of us, how to accentuate strengths, recognize challenges and live the lessons.
Participants will take the on-line Core Passion Assessment prior to class. Feedback will be given during the first session so that participants learn about their internal drive factors as well as those of co-workers. The Group explores how individual strengths and the combination of everyones strengths create a common vision for workplace activities. Translation of vision into individual accountability and action is where results occur. When goals are achieved, values are lived and people are engaged so that teams and projects succeed.
Communication skills are essential for teams to continue to perform well over time. Learning to and maintaining communication standards and boundaries will support understanding and keep the air clear for customer-focused activities and authentic actions. This section includes interaction to assist the participants to define what needs to be done to support scrum teams, develop a common language to communicate the vision for successful Scrum teams and create connections between managers, leaders and Scrummasters and teams.

About Us
Through a comprehensive offering of training, coaching, and consulting services, 3Back will guide your organization to a new level of business perception and action.

Product is Developed by People
The problem with product development is not motivation - your team works hard. The problem is not workload - there is enough capacity. Repeatedly, we observe hard-working teams that just cannot seem to apply their collective skills in the right ways.

At 3Back we believe in human-powered methodologies for developing complex products such as software systems. Our primary focus is on helping teams apply their effort more effectively. We train and coach on Agile development, with an emphasis on the importance of engaging the human side of the equation.
Better teams make better products, faster.

We make teams better.
