verschil tussen een Scrum Master training en Product Owner training

What is the difference between Scrum Master training and Product Owner training?

In the oh-so-mobile world of Agile working, there are multiple ways of working, tools and roles to be discovered. Speaking of the latter, some are Scrum Master, others are Product Owner. They’ve probably taken a cool training course and been introduced to exactly what that role entails. But what are the differences between these trainings? And what do you learn in which training? In this article, we look specifically at the differences between Scrum Master and Product Owner training courses.

Before we grab our magnifying glass and zoom in on the content of the trainings, just a quick summary of the two roles. Who is the Scrum Master and who is the Product Owner?

Scrum Master is facilitator and the connector between the Product Owner and the Development Team. Important words for the Scrum Master are: quality, efficiency and a smoothly running system.

Product Owner is value creator and the person with vision. He or she translates customer requirements and is responsible for the product backlog. This is the list of wishes that still need to be transformed into sound products, services or services.

We have also written an extensive blog about these two roles.

The collaboration between Scrum Master and Product Owner

Collaboration, not unimportant of course. Every Scrum team has a Scrum Master and a Product Owner in its ranks. The Product Owner gives a lot of input on the “why” of the work. This motivates tremendously. And the Scrum Master facilitates that they can do that same work – with the ‘why’ in mind – well. The interplay in this is important because it creates efficient flow and value.

Most important? Don’t forget the essence of Agile working. This is about delivering value for customers. But also about adapting, improving, changing and having conversations with each other. From whatever role you do this, it doesn’t matter. The most important goal: achieving the best results for customers.

Difference between the two trainings

Of course, the roles have similarities, overlap and need each other. Yet you learn very different things during these two trainings. We have summarized in a table the differences between the Scrum Master training and Product Owner training.
