What you'll learn

Managing the Product Backlog is one of the most important responsibilities of the Product Owner because it’s how you translate your Product Goal into an actionable plan. But even the best intentioned Product Owner can grow a Product Backlog that quickly becomes unwieldy. In this course, Managing the Product Backlog (CSPO®), you’ll gain the ability to create a Product Backlog that delivers the outcomes that are truly the highest value sooner. First, you’ll explore how to better order your product backlog by differentiating between outcomes and outputs. Next, you’ll discover techniques for measuring the value the items in your Product Backlog will deliver. Finally, you’ll learn how to build and refine a Product Backlog that delivers on your stated Product Goal. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Product Backlog management needed to deliver your Product Goal successfully.

This is the fifth and last course in the Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) learning path; it was created in partnership with Scrum Alliance® and in alignment with the Scrum Alliance learning objectives and scrum values.
