BCS Certificate in Agile Product Owner

Course Overview

An Agile Scrum Product Owner certificate ensures that a candidate can successfully lead Agile Scrum projects in the context of an overall Service and Product Lifecycle, in a way that adds the most value possible for the customer.

In order to do this, the Product Owner provides direction, makes final decisions, and ensures that the Team is aimed at the right goals. The Product Owner is actively engaged with, communicates well with, and listens carefully to arguments from the Team. Within the context of the organisation’s larger business objectives, the Product Owner provides the vision, but also the boundaries within which this vision must be realised. This is achieved by creating, maintaining and prioritising the business value driven Product Backlog. It is the Product Owner’s responsibility to make sure the project earns a good Return on Investment.

A good Product Owner understands the business and the market, is the Voice of the Customer (internal or external), manages the product or service lifecycle and balances the need for both functional and non-functional requirements.

The exam Agile Scrum Master is part of the Agile Scrum qualification program.
