80/20 Product Ownership
80/20 Product Ownership teaches a set of proven techniques for finding the high-value, high-learning slices to maximize impact and minimize risk. In this online self-guided course, you’ll learn how to split big ideas into valuable features, features into compelling user stories, and big user stories into slices of value you can deliver every day. You’ll also learn how to structure your backlog to have just the right detail at the right time, getting rid of those long, painful backlog grooming meetings. These are essential skills for Product Owners and for anyone else who has responsibility for the direction of a product at any level of detail.
Here’s what another Agile trainer had to say about 80/20 Product Ownership:
I ALWAYS refer my PO clients to this training. They consistently report an increased understanding of the PO role.

Great training! The tools, techniques and material reviewed during the training is far beyond what is mentioned in the Scrum guidelines. Plus the actual working experience from the trainers and the fact that they share it with us was a big win.
Learned so much in this class. I was able to take what I learned and apply it the very next day.
