Contact ZXMCOURSE OVERVIEW
Advanced product ownership for experienced practitioners
Most practitioners know the Product Owner role. Few operate across all the stances it demands — visionary, collaborator, experimenter, and decision maker — under real commercial pressure. This course goes beyond the fundamentals. In two days you’ll work through the strategic, commercial, and collaborative dimensions of advanced product ownership, using scenario-based learning grounded in the contexts you actually face.
DAY 1
Product Owner stances and strategy
From visionary to collaborator, customer representative to experimenter — explore the multiple stances of an effective Product Owner using scenario-based learning. Connect product decisions to business strategy and measurable outcomes.
DAY 2
Stakeholders, backlog, and evidence
Day 2 shifts to the harder work — managing competing stakeholder demands, building shared understanding, applying evidence-based approaches to prioritisation, and developing advanced backlog management and refinement techniques.
AUDIENCE
