Great course. Great examples - I would have liked more templates and examples for the ceremonies - I would have expected more emphasis as challenges on the hierarchical pressures that come during the sprint planning and can even shift the goals or at least affect that sprint, I mean shift actually happens in VUCA and these are not rare examples

By Adriana Glváčová on 2/24/2026

Amazing course, focused on realistic daily execution. I especially liked the product backlog refinement techniques - something extremely useful and easily applicable in real life. Thanks to the instructors!

By RATNESH SONAWANE on 2/20/2025

This course gives you a good overview of responsibilities of Product Owner. Topics from both the instructors help you to get into the mindset of Product Owner. Recommended for anyone aspiring to be a Product Owner

By Anonymized User on 8/20/2024

This was a great module. Both gentlemen broke the information down as to where it was easy to understand. This gave me even more confidence that I can do this role. Thank you for including tips and tricks also.

By Richard Silvers on 5/2/2024

So far so good -- I have been a PO in the past and now again on a larger team so it is a good refresher on things I know and also an opportunity to learn new skills in a structured, self paced format!

By Diaco on 4/16/2024

This is a real course with a real speaker on video and guest interviews, the course drives through mainly the principles and roles of product ownership rather product management (very softly) in a scaled agile environment. The content is high-level and indeed targeting agile beginners.

By George Octavian Costache on 3/29/2024

I work as a Business Analyst and, for a few years now, in an Agile framework. Great course for explaining the overall approach of this methodology and for better understanding the role of Product Owner and/or Manager; helpful for future projects.

By Alain Machu on 2/14/2024

Loved it and I'm a very experienced agile practitioner. Not only I'm a certified Scrum Master (CSM), a Certified Scaled Agile Scrum Master and a Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master (DASSM). The lessons are rich in contents, active, dynamic and very informative.

By Suresh Kutty on 1/31/2024

One of the best courses I have learned on Product Owner! The course not only clears the concepts but also tells us what a PO should do in his/her daily job. Highly recommended for beginners who want to take up the PO career path.

By Brendan Bailey on 1/9/2024

Interesting introduction, provides a broad context for the topic as a beginner, and offers great advice for the next steps. Found the instruction a bit slow, but having it set to 1.5x Speed was an easy fix.
