Product Ownership remains one of the greatest challenges in any business. The ability to continually produce a product or service which attracts customers. Ability to create a customer feedback loop which is always open for a two way communicate and collaboration with your customers. To enable you perform continuous improvements on your products and services. This interactive masterclass provides a range of simple, yet incredibly powerful ways that industry-leading organisations use to be significantly more effective.

Getting the product owner role right, and applying product owner practices in the right way is not only crucial for creating successful products, but also for making a Scrum transition a success.

Learning outcomes 
The learning outcomes from this workshop are:
• How to apply Impact Mapping to an 
existing Product Backlog to visualise all 
the work
• How to use an Impact Map to 
communicate product strategy with stakeholders – why we are doing this, for who, what impact we’re trying to deliver via what features 
• How to use the Impact Map to determine what is strategically valuable and what isn’t 
• How to use Story Mapping to design the flow of the product 
• How to develop and communicate a business-focused release plan (using both of the above) 
• How to structure User Stories effectively
• How to turn a large, messy Product Backlog into a clean, focused Product Backlog of quality User Stories that align to the business strategy
