 the business and the delivery team that is so essential to increasing pr
 oductivity within an Agile organization. Product Owners who assume this 
 crucial role have the ability to guide the team and the process to gain 
 the full benefit of Agile delivery.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhen the capabilities

DESCRIPTION:Companies who have ‘gone Agile’ often experience several fail
 ure modes. We know that Agile brings unprecedented transparency to adopt
 ers - but this often exposes organizational dysfunction which has ‘alway
 s been there\,’ but often neither acknowledged nor addressed. This can r
 esult in one of the most disruptive transitions a company can go through
 .  What to do?&#13\;\n&#13\;\n-How can we spare ourselves months of what
  seems like inevitable struggle?&#13\;\n-What have some veteran Agile pr
 actitioners learned\, and done\, to accelerate their transition\, and re
 ap the rewards that have eluded others?&#13\;\n-How have they measured s
 uccess?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOur panel of Product &amp\; Development experts w
 ill share their experience and strategies\, to help you cross this minef
 ield successfully and faster.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nMark Bednarski has worked w
 ith iGrafx since 2007\, starting in Germany as a Business Process Consul
 tant and Six-Sigma Black Belt.   He transitioned into Product Management
  in October 2013 when he transferred to iGrafx  headquarters in Tualatin
 \, OR.   iGrafx goal - to reduce the release cycle from 18 mos. to 6 mos
 . - required major changes in both Dev &amp\; PM processes\, which Mark 
 will lead to completion by the end of this year.  This goal screamed for
  an Agile approach\, causing Mark to learn and discover on his own – a t
 ough learning curve\, which started to pay back just a few months ago.  
   &#13\;\n&#13\;\nTony Aiello has spent 20 years in machine vision / fac
 tory automation engineering\, and 5 years in the movie business.   He's 
 regularly intrigued by how much these disciplines actually have in commo
 n from development / production viewpoints\, and gratified that the skil
 ls are transferable.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWe will confirm the remaining two pa
 nelists early next week.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nQuestions? Contact david@pcamppd

 ional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) course is a 2-day course on how to maxi
 mize the value of software products and systems. Product Ownership in Sc
 rum today requires more than knowledge of how to write requirements or m
 anage a Product Backlog. Professional Scrum Product Owners need to have 
 a concrete understanding of everything that drives value from their prod
 ucts.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nStudents develop and solidify this understanding th
 rough instruction and team-based exercises. The breadth of the role’s re
 sponsibilities in delivering a successful product beco8010 N Charleston 
 Ave\, Portland\, OR 97203&#13\;\nmes clear from an Agile perspective on 
 product management. Metrics are identified to track the creation of valu
 e and the successful delivery of it to the marketplace. This defines the
  perspective from which the role of the Product Owner in the Scrum frame
 work is taught.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nDetails and registration here --&gt\; htt
