Program

We will analyze the Product Owner's profile in light of Agile Product Management competencies. In this session, I will focus on the relationship with Stakeholders and the management of their interests. I will teach you techniques to facilitate meetings and help them negotiate opposing interests and make better decisions.

We are going to see how to relate to developers. I will introduce you to the different technical practices you should know and how to manage a product at scale in which several teams work.

We agree that you cannot start designing a product or service without first understanding what your users want, right? So, we will delve into Customer Research practices so you can design a product your customers will love.

Steve Jobs once said 'Some people say: Give the customers what they want. But that's not my approach. My job is to figure out what they will want before they know it... People don't know what they want until you show it to them.' I will introduce you to Product Discovery techniques that allow you to identify the right product to build.

You need to doubt your assumptions and see your proposals as hypotheses, especially in new product development. This discipline is riddled with cognitive biases, and if you're not aware of them, they can play a very bad trick on you. You're no longer doing projects, but experiments, and in this session, I'll teach you to make those validations.

One of the biggest challenges when moving from Product Management to Agile Product Management is shifting the focus from feature delivery to value delivery. But what does value mean? How is it measured? Why is this change of focus so critical? We will cover all this during the course ;-)

Creating and evolving a product requires a huge effort from everyone involved. All that effort without a direction and motivation ends up stressing everyone out. Establishing a purpose (or vision) should be the starting point of any product initiative, but it is very often overlooked. In this session, I will teach you to establish a purpose and develop a strategic roadmap from there.

To conclude the course, we will see different techniques for ordering and refining the Product Backlog. This will be the icing on the cake and your last step towards certification.

What will you learn?

You will know how to do Customer Research and you will practice approaches to bring teams and customers closer.

To develop and validate solid hypotheses about product functionalities and the uses your users give them.

To differentiate outputs from outcomes to create products that are truly worth it.

Advanced techniques for refining the Product Backlog.

Let's imagine for a moment the following scenario

You have in front of you the opportunity of a lifetime to create a product that will blow your users' minds. But, the outlook doesn't seem easy.

Your stakeholders have opposing interests, and there will be challenging meetings that you must facilitate to help them make the best decisions without tearing each other's hair out.

On the other side, you have the developers. They talk to you about technical debt and an endless number of development techniques that, according to them, are to guarantee robust products. But they speak weirdly, it sounds like basic Chinese.

At the same time, your most important responsibility is not any of the above, but to stay focused on the user. You are the one who represents the client. You must prioritize their interests above all else and ensure that the outcome of all this work really solves their deepest problems.

Along the way, you will need to identify the typical cognitive biases, conduct consumer research, almost to the point of reading their minds, formulate hypotheses, and apply different techniques to validate them.

And it doesn't end here. If everything goes as expected, you are likely to lead a product at scale, where several teams work at the same time. This will require an advanced level of knowledge about organizational structures and coordination of multiple agile teams.

Not even the best Product Owners are able to do all this instinctively. They need to learn to manage stakeholders, interact with developers, facilitate meetings, empathize with users, use Design Thinking approaches, formulate and validate hypotheses, and lead the development of large-scale products.

All these learnings are waiting for you inside the Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO).
