Being a successful product manager and Scrum product owner requires strong leadership: You have to direct and guide the stakeholders and development teams without having the authority to tell people what to do. This requires the ability to build trustful connections, to secure strong support for your decisions, and to skilfully deal with difficult people.
Attending this workshop will increase your leadership skills. It will teach you how to align the stakeholders and guide the development team, both in the office and in a remote setting, and it will enable you to become an inspiring, inclusive product leader. It is ideally suited for product professionals who want to move into a product leadership position and lead a group of product people.
Roman teaches his courses as instructor-led workshops with a mix of lectures, discussions, hands-on exercises, and plenty of Q&A so that you can get your questions answered by him. You can find out more about Roman’s online training by visiting the Training FAQs.
