Growing Agile

Techniques to help you deliver faster, and keep everyone happy.

Most product owners have one job: To deliver. They need to deliver a great product within certain dates and with great quality. This is a mammoth task.

This course is for product owners. Not just your average product owner, but for those who want to be the best.

In this course, we’ll start with an evaluation of all the things an ultimate product owner would be doing and thinking about. This is to get you thinking about which areas are important to you and your business, and what your focal point should be. At the end of this course you will have a managable, well understood, prioritised backlog that is achievable.

In this course, you will:

• Learn what ROI is, how to calculate it and how to use it
• Know how to calculate release dates you believe in
• Be able to facilitate prioritization sessions with stakeholders easily
• Understand how each feature on your backlog aligns with company strategy

Created by Karen Greaves and Samantha Laing of Growing Agile, this course is infused by more than 25 years of experience in software development, from testing to managing, plus 15 years in agile software development.
