Who Should Attend
Product Owners who want to extend their skills to managing product value across multiple Scrum Teams.
Chief Product Owners or Product Owners in large enterprises responsible for coordinating multiple backlogs or aligning product strategy across scaled initiatives.
Business Leaders, Executives, and Entrepreneurs seeking to apply Scrum@Scale to product portfolios and strategic alignment.
Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters who aim to understand scaling from the product/value perspective.

Why Attend
To learn how to deliver value at scale by applying Scrum principles across interconnected teams.
To understand how to create and manage a Product Owner Cycle within Scrum@Scale (vision, backlog refinement, release strategy, prioritization).
To gain certification from Scrum Inc., founded by Dr. Jeff Sutherland, ensuring alignment with first principles—speed, flexibility, and empirically-driven adaptability.
To connect theory to practice with real enterprise case studies (e.g., John Deere, Rocket Mortgage) demonstrating how Scrum@Scale outperforms heavier frameworks.
