Product Owner Workshop

Course Description

This 1 day course drills into the role of the product owner.  Recognizing the leadership role is critical to the success of a scrum team.  The course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to act as product owner on scrum managed software development projects and how to infuse business priorities, goals, and vision into the project.
