The power of the Product Owner
As a Product Owner, you have an influential role in the organization. You ensure that your team focuses on the most valuable activities. Usually, this involves a large budget, so the stakes are high. As a Product Owner, you have the best overview of the landscape of interests. From that position, you can significantly accelerate projects with intelligent decisions. This overview makes Product Ownership an exciting role. The role is also challenging, and you can feel alone in the dynamics of stakes and expectation management. It is hard to know how well you are doing. This track helps you focus on the skills you need to perform as a Product Owner.
Investing in skills has a short payback period when your influence is considerable. Skilled Product Owners often create twice as much Return On Investment as beginning Product Owners. They handle budgets and hours of development teams more efficiently. Therefore, investing in the best practices, tools, and thinking frameworks pays dividends within just a few weeks.
