The Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills – New Scrum.org training course

---

In today’s fast-paced business environment, agility is no longer a buzzword—it’s a necessity. Scrum has proven itself to be an invaluable framework for teams aiming to deliver high-quality products. Central to the Scrum framework is the idea of the Product Backlog, a dynamic and ordered list of everything that is known to be needed to meet a Product Goal. Managing this artefact effectively is crucial for the success of any product. That’s where Optilearn’s Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™ training, accredited by Scrum.org, comes into play.

Product backlog management is a fundamental aspect of Agile project management. In Agile, continuous improvement is key. You’ll need to be able to:

• Prioritise ruthlessly: Focus on items that provide the most value to your customers.
• Collaborate transparently: Keep the backlog visible to all stakeholders.
• Refine continuously: Regularly review and update the backlog to adapt to changing requirements.
• Communicate clearly: Effective communication is crucial to ensure everyone understands the backlog’s status and priorities.

…and this class aims to reinforce how you can do these things effectively.
