Help! I’m a Product Owner!
Have you asked yourself any of the following?
“How is my role as a product owner different from traditional product manager or project sponsor?”
“How can I accurately tell management when they’ll get their requests?”
“What are the daily tasks and responsibilities of the Product Owner?”
“How do I know if our product is meeting our customers’ needs?”
“What makes a good user story?”
“How can we build better software at a faster pace?” You are not alone. In fact, this course was designed specially for YOU!
