Course overview

Product owners come from all walks of life and career paths and have an amazing opportunity to lead product teams, build awesome products, and champion customer value.


It’s an exciting role for anyone who wants to drive value for their company and create new opportunities for themselves.


But what does it take to succeed at being a product owner? Great question!


All successful product owners go beyond the day-to-day tasks of slicing user stories and prioritizing backlogs. Successful product owners are savvy in establishing and pivoting product strategy, collaborating with high-performing teams, and communicating value to stakeholders.


Succeeding as a product owner takes experience, but you can fast-track your transition with the right tools and foundational knowledge.


That’s what we’re here to teach you.
