There’s a revolution sweeping the software product development world: agile methods. Many Product Managers (sometimes called the Business Owner of the system, for internal systems) and development teams in Silicon Valley have been applying these practices for years, and they are now spreading worldwide, from London to Los Angeles.

In Scrum, the most popular agile method, a key role is Product Owner. This is a product management role with specific responsibilities in Scrum. In this practical, information-and-tips-packed seminar you will learn the key research, ideas, and practices of agile development, aimed at Product Managers and the Scrum Product Owner.
