Bob Hartman and I are offering an Agile Product Management Boot Camp course March 9-10 in Denver. If you’re a product manager, product owner, business analyst or in any other product facing role in an agile (or soon-to-be agile) environment, this intense, hands-on course is a great opportunity for you to ensure that you’re helping your team maximize the value it delivers.

Topics include…

• Understanding Agile: Process and Driving Principles
• Ensuring the Right Things Gets Built: Testing and Acceptance
• Specifying What to Build: User Stories
• Deciding What to Build First: Prioritization
• Defining Customer Value: Minimum Marketable/Releasable Features
• Project Acceptance: Building a Product Vision and Business Case
• Product Management 101: Useful Tips, Tricks and Techniques
• Pulling it All Together: Project Simulation

You will leave the course knowing how to:

• Deal with the team outside of just planning meetings, demonstrations and retrospectives.
• Break down requirements into usable stories – even when the team is unable to help.
• Deliver value in stages rather than all at once.
• Write acceptance criteria to ensure the right features are being developed.
• Create a project business case and vision.
• Perform basic product management functions in an agile way.
• Effectively interact with customers, community, stakeholders, managers, and the team.
• Make a convincing business case for using agile for more projects.
• Continuously improve.
