Why take this course?

Getting a job as a Product Owner is only the beginning of a journey. To excel in this role, you've got to develop a value-driven mindset to lead teams in a meaningful direction.

Unfortunately, you will hardly find a well-established environment to deliver value. Misconceptions are the only certainty on your way. Here are some examples:

  • Roadmaps limit teams from focusing on value. Instead, the goal is to deliver features respecting the deadline.

  • No matter what you do, it's never enough. Stakeholders always pressure you for more, yet an overarching goal is absent.

  • Scaling becomes a nightmare: more people, more complexity, and ultimately sub-optimal result.

If any of these points annoy you, no worries, I've got you covered.

After years hitting the wall several times, I learned the key aspects you need to thrive on your journey, and I want to share them with you. During this course, you will find answers to overcome the most dreadful challenges in your journey.

This course summarizes 10 years of experience into 4 hours. Let me share with you what I wish I knew when I started my career as a Product Owner. At the end of this course, you can expect to learn the following:

  • Understand the mindset of outstanding Product Owners

  • Clarity on what not do during your daily activities

  • Know how to craft roadmaps that focus on the outcome instead of output

  • Develop the required leadership skills to excel in your role

  • Be able to scale teams successfully

  • Become a strategic and tactical Product Owner

This course is for you who is a Product Owner or a Product Manager who wants to strengthen your skillset and knowledge to become an outstanding professional. However, if you are not yet in any of these roles, this course might not be a good choice for you. In this case, the course: How to become a strong Product Owner may suit you better.

I hope the content in this course will help you advance in your journey.

Loved this course for Product Owners with some experience. It reviews the basics and also goes way further. With real life examples, useful links and recommendations.

Needs information about what a PO role is and how success is defined for a PO Covers a huge breadth of topics but without cohesion and a common thread. There are just too many messages in each section, rather than a single message for each.

Very well structured, good pace and clarity. Red thread throug the entire course. Confirming what I experienced as PO, but giving me tools to argue for the changes I want to implement for the team and for my role.

This course articulates with incredible precision the soft-skills and types of EQ required to be successful in product. So-called "methodologies" and "frameworks" come and go and can be memorized and learned by anyone, but this course captures and articulates the meta required to be successful in PM no matter what type of environment one finds themselves in.

It's good so far but feels a bit like empty platitudes - know why you're doing something, answer only what you care about. - At the halfway mark and starting to get some good insights on stakeholder management!

Really nice course, which explains all important topics. On top it makes you thinking about your daily work as a PO and gives you nice ideas to think in a different way. I would recommend this course for all POs

It is outstanding the body of knowledge David has, I really recommend this course to any Product Owner, Business Analyst or Requirements Engineer who wants to excel at their job, avoid pitfalls and have a better and deeper understanding of this subject matter.

The concept of applying product vision, setting goals instead of features, and embracing learning resonated with me. I plan on applying this once our backlog is refined.

Good representative of a certain point of view and sometimes comes across as borderline revolutionary. His demeanor during certain discussions gives the impression that not everyone agrees with his perspective, leaving me, the listener, wondering if I should really trust what he is saying. I appreciate the experience and multiple real life examples that he was able to share and look forward to taking more of his classes. Thank you for a great course!
