Upcoming Webinar: Scrum Master Versus Product Owner

In this webinar hosted in partnership with Simplilearn, you’ll learn about the core responsibilities and skills associated with scrum masters and product owners, which are defined as “accountabilities” on a scrum team. Both positions are essential in the scrum framework, contributing to the overall success of scrum teams and their organizations.

The scrum master often serves as a facilitator and coach for the team, in addition to many other duties. Their primary responsibilities include helping the team and organization understand how to use scrum to work together and deliver value. They also manage obstacles that impede progress and foster a collaborative environment. The scrum master helps the team adopt agile practices, promoting effective communication and continuous improvement.

Whether your organization creates products or a type of service or other business outcome, the product owner is responsible for the many aspects of what you produce for customers or stakeholders, including maximizing the value delivered. A product owner aligns what the team makes with business goals and handles competing stakeholder priorities. They order work in the backlog based on stakeholder feedback and market demands, ensuring that the team focuses on delivering the most value with each iteration. These duties merely scratch the surface of what a product owner does!

Join us to explore these scrum team accountabilities and gain insights into how each contributes to the agile framework known as scrum. Walk away from this webinar with an understanding of which path aligns with your career aspirations—whether you aim to lead teams in successfully adopting agile practices as a scrum master, focus on driving the product vision and strategy as a product owner, or want to learn the skills of both accountabilities so you can leverage them in your role.
