Overview
It’s a VUCA world out there! The world around us is changing at an ever-increasing pace. It is full of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. In that sort of world, how do you decide which initiatives will deliver organizational value?
Velocity Knowledge’s Enterprise Product Ownership course looks at how to maximize value across the organization – and it is more than just dollars and cents! Enterprise Product Owners, Product Owners, Product Managers, Business Analysts, and other Value Managers need to look at the overall business value across a variety of proposals to answer questions such as: which initiatives to select, how much to spend, and when to stop. They have to look at the bigger picture to ensure their initiatives are aligned with company strategy and articulate value at the organization level. The course will go into specific tools and techniques to help you keep initiatives on the value track.
The course takes us through the Product Ownership as a team sport, not just for an individual. Through a combination of exercises, case studies, and lecture, we will better understand how to lead an organization towards value outcomes aligned with enterprise goals.
We will also look at the different faces of value and how our own mindsets may be preventing us from reaching our potential.
