Product Ownership
The Product Owner sits at the intersection of product management, business analysis, and project management, turning a vision into a backlog the team can actually build. This path takes you from the fundamentals of the role through the day-to-day craft of running it well, grounded in Scrum and an empirical, agile mindset.
You'll start by defining what a Product Owner actually does and how the role works alongside the Scrum Master and team. From there, you'll learn to set a compelling product vision, validate it with hypothesis-driven discovery, and connect strategy to execution using OKRs and release planning. You'll build and prioritize a healthy backlog, write user stories that hold up to scrutiny, map the customer journey, and lead sprints toward outcomes that matter rather than raw output. Throughout, you'll see where generative AI fits as a co-pilot: drafting user stories, synthesizing stakeholder feedback, and summarizing completed work, all while keeping a human in the loop.
By the end, you'll be equipped to own a product backlog with confidence, align delivery to business goals, and grow into senior and chief Product Owner roles.
