A great product owner wears many hats so that they can define the strategic vision needed to guide development teams, manage the product backlog, prioritise and anticipate customer needs, communicate with stakeholders and make sure products are what your customers really want.

If you're looking to gain the agile tools and techniques needed to lead product development teams, make sure you join us for our Agile Product Ownership course coming up in Wellington.
