Agile Product Management Training

This hands-on training course teaches strategic product management concepts and techniques. It provides you with the tools to make smart decisions and innovate successfully, and it goes beyond Roman’s Certified Scrum Product Owner training.

“Roman’s agile product management course was the most valuable professional training I have participated in for quite a while. Very insightful, practical, thought provoking, and relevant to becoming an effective product owner,” says Wolfgang Hilpert, Senior VP and Head of Product Management at SAP AG.

Entrepreneur Nick Cordrey comments: “On the next day after the course, I put the knowledge straight into practise on my startup. Over the weekend we produced our hypothesis, vision board and scope for the MVP1 prototype, which is now in development! The training really helped us to narrow the scope right down to something measurable.”

This interactive and engaging course is also available for onsite delivery.
