World Product Day

Join us for World Product Day on an virtual Agile Workshop!

Jeff Kosciejew, a local Agile and Management consultant will be conducting a workshop on evaluation and prioritization of the elements that a Product Owner should possess and demonstrate.

Examples of some of the items to be prioritized:

- To ensure predictable and timely delivery of features and capabilities.
- To translate business requirements into technical requirements.
- To manage their product and team as a CEO might manage a startup and team.
- To delight our customers and make sure we are always improving the - product experience.
- To provide the necessary context to the team so that they can make reasonably good decisions, reasonably quickly.
- To maximize the ROI of the team’s efforts.
- To develop a deep understanding of business goals, and then figure out how to leverage design and technology to meet those goal.

Debriefing is the most collaborative and enriching part of the workshop. How were decisions within your group made? Which items made it to the top and which items to the bottom? Which items were tricky to determine where to place them in the list? Were there any the you took out entirely? These and more questions will be discussed as a group!

He’s earned a number of industry certifications, but finds his actual experience to be more valuable and meaningful. And yes, he really is a magician.
