Course Overview on Agile Product Owner

Agile is a business process that emphasises highly reactive adaptable teams. First developed in the software industry, agile has now been applied to many industries both for project management and regular business processes. Scrum is the most popular form of Agile Project Management. It has clearly defined roles and processes. An Agile Product Owner is responsible for the high-level vision and goals of the project, managing the product backlog, understanding, anticipating, and prioritizing client needs, overseeing development stages, and acting as the primary liaison between stakeholders and teams.
