What changes for your team

  • Turn backlog noise into value decisions
  • Stop losing time to “Scrum-but” confusion
  • Get work truly Done, not just moved across a board

Immersive training pays back differently to a two-day course. Sessions spread across several weeks mean each idea is applied in your real work before the next one lands — so capability builds instead of fading under a backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scrum for Product Owners Training is designed for current or aspiring Product Owners, Product Managers, business analysts, entrepreneurs, subject matter experts, and stakeholders who work closely with Product Owners. It is not targeted at those seeking deep technical Scrum implementation details or those with no involvement in product delivery or Scrum Teams.

You’ll tackle challenges like refining and prioritising product backlogs, improving team collaboration, dealing with technical debt, managing requirements, and clarifying the Product Owner’s responsibilities and limitations within Scrum.

No formal qualifications are required, but you should have some prior exposure to Scrum—either from experience on a Scrum Team or recent Scrum training—and you’ll get more out of the day by reviewing the latest Scrum Guide ahead of time.

Scrum for Product Owners Training gives you structured, practical experience applying Scrum concepts to realistic scenarios in teams, something you won’t get from reading alone, and offers the chance to discuss challenges and get feedback from an experienced instructor and peers.

This course is a mix of interactive presentations, group discussions, and hands-on team activities using a shared case study, so you’ll both learn concepts and apply them in a practical context similar to how a real Scrum Team operates.
