Feb 05 2012 Agile-CT Meeting: Frank Saucier on EFFECTIVE PRODUCT OWNERSHIP
The Product Owner role is essential in Scrum. Get this right, and your product delights end-users and customers. Play this role ineffectively and you have a failed Scrum implementation.
This month's meeting is about work with Product Owners and how to be effective in the role of Product Owner. Agile Coach Frank Saucier from FreeStandingAgility brings a tutorial presentation and a set of group activities that convey an understanding of the Product Owner role.
Presentation: EFFECTIVE PRODUCT OWNERSHIP
Ken Schwaber says "The Product Owner role is both challenging and rewarding." The Scrum Guide says "The Product Owner may not be the Scrum Master." It also says "The Product Owner is a single person."
"As a [user], I want to"
If you've written requirements as stories, you are probably very familiar with this phrase, but who exactly is the user we are talking about?
Ultimately, the Product Owner role's primary task is to create a Product Backlog. How exactly does this magic happen? Who makes a good Product Owner? Who selects or nominates the Product Owner? Attend this session to learn:
* How to select a Product Owner
* How to work with the Product Owner to build a backlog
* How to effectively occupy the Product Owner role in your organization
* What skills are essential to be a good Product Owner
* Specific guidance on how to gather requirements, assess value & make frequent trade-off decisions
* What the Product Owner DOES NOT do
* Sources of more guidance, resources and information
If you are a project sponsor or executive considering agile or Scrum, you do not want to miss this presentation.
Attend this session to learn the inside scoop on tips, tricks and techniques for occupying the role and/or interacting with the person in the role of the Product Owner
