Description

This course has been created to help you navigate the murky and complex paths to achieving a fully fledged Product Owner role. There are numerous articles on google giving advice on paths to Product Ownership that I found when I was on my journey to landing this role. The problem was that they were so general and high level that they only left me with more questions and confusion. Students of mine come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience, meaning it's hard to get a good clear structure of what to do and when without some guidance.This course looks to solve this problem by considering these wide variety of backgrounds and laying down a path with clearly understandable actions you can take to position yourself and get a Product Owner role.This is not a cheat sheet to getting this role, the course is designed to help you identify what you already have in your skillset and how to represent that correctly to a recruiter, as well as provide a wide variety of tools and steps you can go through to fill those gaps, avoiding general high level terms by being SPECIFIC and TARGETED to the areas you should focus on.––Frequently Asked Questions–– Did you get a Product Owner role?I did!
