COURSE OVERVIEW
Product Owners play a pivotal role in today's fast-paced and customer-centric business landscape. Their primary responsibility is to bridge the gap between the customer, the business, and the development team to ensure that the right product is created and delivered efficiently. This training is an introduction into Product Management and Business Analysis. There are various entry roles in this field; Product Owner, Associate Product Manager, Product Manager, etc. This training will prepare you to take up any of these roles.
This way, it is not only what you learn in the classroom but what you do practically that counts towards your experience. This course is designed to help you understand the role of product owners and product managers in agile software development.

There are two stages to the training, the virtual classroom sessions and the virtual practical work experience part of the training. The virtual classroom sessions hold twice a week: Monday morning (theory) and Thursday evening (software skills training).
