Adaptive’s Agile Certified PractitionerWorkshop

With an increasing number of organizations adopting Agile practices and the majority of them following SCRUM, Agile has gained mainstream recognition in the past couple of years. Agile is no longer considered an outlier, for the cowboys of the software development community. Today organizationsare seeing the value in Agile ceremonies and have brought in the roles and practices that are instrumental in the success of SCRUM. The Product Owner is a SCRUM role that determines "what" to build with the support of "why" to build the features of a product. This role is often taken up by persons whosometimes hold official titles of Product Manager, Program Manager, or Business Analyst.

Product Owners orchestrate product development from the creation of the backlog to a product's market release.

As a Product Owner, from this workshop I learned project management, project ownership and the best practices of Agile projects. I feel very satisfied after this workshop. From the work-shop I also came to know about the agile world practices and the behavior prospects of an agile team. The workshop is a quite new learning experience for me. I would like to thank Rajiv and the entire team of Adaptive Marketing for organizing such a wonderful event.
