Presenter: Serge Beaumont
Abstract
Are you a Product Owner? Or do you support or coach a Product Owner? Then you might have had trouble finding a lot more information on the role than the magical “…and the Product Owner comes in with a fully prioritized Product Backlog”. So you might be stuck: where to start with this challenging role? For beginning and practising Product Owners alike, Serge might have some of the answers you need. He has created a clear vision on what the role entails (Focus, Value and Flow) and presents the thinking tools that go with it, along with practical tools in the “fun with stickies” category.
