Agile project management methodologies, Scrum is a simple software management technique that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, is not overly prescriptive and is able to produce productivity gains for software development teams almost immediately.

You'll learn how to plan and run Sprint Planning Meetings, daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives and more!

Scrum increases the emphasis on assessing and driving business value through close collaboration with the delivery team. The role of the Scrum Product Owner is critical to establishing the interaction between the business and the delivery team that is so critical to achieving improved productivity within an Agile organization. Product Owners who are fully capable of assuming this crucial role have the ability to guide the team and the process to gain the full benefit of Agile delivery.
SolutionsIQ Certified Scrum Product Owner Training is interactive and highly experiential — an ideal environment for adult learners. Participants gain practical tools and techniques to better engage with software delivery teams.

Jean Tabaka & Ronica Roth
To succeed, an Agile project demands outstanding collaboration among all its stakeholders. But great collaboration doesn't happen by itself; it must be carefully planned and facilitated throughout the entire project lifecycle. That responsibility falls upon the shoulders of the Project Manager or ScrumMaster as a facilitator and servant to the Agile team.
Based on Jean Tabaka's book Collaboration Explained: Facilitation Skills for Software Project Leaders, this two-day course teaches you the facilitation tools and techniques that support a collaborative mode of decision-making for the planning, daily interactions, iteration reviews and retrospections of Agile software development teams. Through extensive hands-on exercises, participants learn how to plan and lead productive meetings that gather and harness the wisdom of the group; guide constructive conflict toward sustainable decisions; capture the data that support the decisions and action; and produce actionable results.
