Product Owner Role explained...

I've been cleaning my computer up and I had a look on past training programs. So I felt on a questionnaire that send to my customer a couple a years ago to customize the Product Owner Training.
After re-reading, I think that was no that stupid and I will use this approach again till now.

So, please readers, you can find below this questionnaire inspired by my Product Ownership gurus: Jeff Sutherland, Ken Schwaber, Alistair Cockburn, Scott Ambler, Jochen Krebs, Johanna Rothman, Roman Pichler, Anna Forss and my "Product Owner's Helpdesk" Community fellows on LinkedIn.

... and you can understand why I'm so often pissed of during Agile presentations....

  2. Thanks Dale,

    As a trainer, I prefer that people come to follow my trainings or at least understand the gap between basic scrum training and real business cases.
    One good thing with education is to understand the limits of your sales activities.
