Do you have difficulty breaking down requirements into smaller, valuable parts? Do you find it difficult to prioritize new features or get stakeholder buy-in to define business goals? Do you have trouble prioritizing requirements and convincing stakeholders to focus on what brings value? Does managing your backlog seem like endless chaos? If so, this training will help you get organized and give your product strategy a clear direction
We invite you to an interactive workshop that will teach you how to optimize the way you work with requirements to increase their impact on your business. You will learn how to effectively carry out prioritization, estimation and strategic planning so that your product provides real value.

Effectively establish stakeholder priorities – align business needs with product strategy.
Create a coherent product vision – precisely define the development direction and avoid unnecessary features.
