Projektmanagement in der Projektgruppe (Universität)

Answering a question online, I just found a slide deck I have used in the past. It is about project management and I used it in an educational context where students wanted to develop an autonomous driving vehicle.

The slides show an evaluation what kind of project this is, and what kind of project management could be helpful to use in this context. I compared Waterfall, V-Model, V-Model XT and agile project management.

The slides are German.

Agile Roles: What is a Product Owner in SAFe?

December 15, 2020 0 Comments read Agile Leadership

Most recently, I was creating my first YouTube video, explaining what a Product Owner in a Scaled Agile Framework is doing!

The role of the Product Owner (PO) is a very important one in the SCRUM framework and also in SAFe environments.

The Video is in German, but you can use subtitles and have them

The questions I am answering are:

What is the core task of a product owner (PO)?
What are typical interfaces of the product owner (PO)?
What would happen if you don’t have a Product Owner (PO)?
What should a good product owner (PO) bring to the table? What are skills that are important?
What do you enjoy most about your Product Owners (PO) tasks?
What was the biggest challenge as a Product Owner (PO) and how did you solve it?
Extra question: How is a traditional project manager different from a product owner (PO)?
What would you recommend someone to do if they want to develop Product Owners (PO)?
