POByDesign™ : Design Your Own Product Owner Adventure

for Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and everyone building your product

The Workshop

REGISTRATION ENDS THURSDAY NOV 10

A product owner delivers your company's most valuable product.

It’s a far-reaching job. It's challenging, sometimes overwhelming, and it requires a mountain of specialized skill.

Every product owner's environment is different. 

Occasionally product owners work solo.

Many product owners work with product managers, analysts, designers, project managers, subject matter experts, UX specialists, product developers, and other people who support the work.

Some product owners form a product team with many of these people.

How will you succeed in your environment?

In this 2-day workshop you'll explore your product ownership landscape using LEGO® Serious Play® to figure out how Agile product ownership fits best in your environment. Learn and practice new product ownership skills. Use your skills to design an Agile approach to product ownership for your one-of-a-kind situation.

Your Challenge. Your Design.

Join Steve Holyer and Diana Larsen for this 2-day workshop in Portland Oregon (Nov 15-16).

Design your product owner adventures to meet your one-of-a-kind challenge.
