Agile Product Ownership (ICP-APO)

About this course

Own the product. Deliver customer value—and keep stakeholders aligned on what matters.

Agile Product Ownership (ICP-APO) builds the full Product Owner craft: customer-centric value, backlog management that focuses work, and stakeholder engagement that turns competing voices into shared direction.

You’ll define value in context, deepen relationships with customers and stakeholders, and make decisions that serve both real needs and organizational goals—not just the loudest request in the room.

Learn to create shared understanding around vision, outcomes, and delivery expectations. Explore customer types, empathetic engagement, and how to connect work to the problems that actually matter.

Practice through exercises, cases, and scenarios so you leave with a toolkit you can use immediately—and the judgment to drive products that land.
