Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™️

The Product Backlog is the vibrant heart of any Scrum team: a dynamic, evolving list that guides product improvement. This is a crucial tool. However, without proper management, it can become complex and difficult to use. This is where our new scrum.org certification course, “Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™️”can help you!

The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what’s needed to perfect the product. It is the only source of work for the Scrum team. Its “living” nature requires the Product Owner to be constantly vigilant and adaptable, juggling the addition, updating, deletion and prioritization of elements.

Our “Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™” training course is specially designed to help Scrum practitioners master all aspects of product backlog management and optimize communication with stakeholders.
