The agile approach to project management equips project teams, to deliver quality results in reduced timeframes, plan for continuous improvement and to quickly respond to changing requirements. In the agile world it is not enough to just analyze the situation, it is equally important to generate the ROI, to the client from the work delivered. The Agile Product Owner envisions the product or value to be built for the client, and convey the vision to the SCRUM team. The Product owner closely collaborates with all the key stakeholders in the project and maintains appropriate communication with them.
The product owner is involved in the SCRUM team’s development activities, and decides depending on the priority what the next action items are and what to defer. He makes the scope-schedule decisions leading to the best product delivered to the customer. The ACI-APO credential recognizes your knowledge of product development methodologies, business and domain knowledge, SCRUM enterprise tools, techniques. It is the ideal certification to test the candidate’s ability to apply the skills and knowledge necessary in the Scrum environment.
