This week’s Sunday Rewind is a look back to two talks from our 2022 Hamburg conference, MTP Engage, in which product leaders share two different perspectives on the mental qualities you need as a product manager.

The Scaled Agile Framework(R) (SAFe(R)) is the world's leading framework for scaling agile practices for dozens or for even hundreds of agile teams. Product Managers and Product Owners play a pivotal role in the success of any SAFe implementation by adopting a product thinking mindset. This book equips them with the knowledge and tools to excel in the SAFe environment by adopting product thinking. https://buff.ly/4essexL

One of the reasons I love these classes with Stefan Wolpers is that he always accelerates any curriculum beyond the usual baseline to crash the sound barrier. So his class isn't just a stepped up thing combining elements of Scrum Product Owner I & II, but becomes a full plunge over the waterfall into the deep pool of contemporary Product Management, with great asides into the work of Teresa Torres, Marteen Dalmijn, Roman Pichler, Marty Cagan, Melissa Perri etc. Srsly. Our cohort toured the depths during this last month. (Well, maybe not the abyss of Paweł Huryn 🇺🇦 's ultimate product metrics guide or the full chasm of the Scrum.org Evidence-Based Metrics .... but the class can't be 40 hours long, right? 😎 Or CAN it? 🤔) Of course I love how Stefan uses the Liberating Structures so adroitly. And that skill certainly made the group work on our mock startup more both fun & more successful than anticipated! It's exactly the usual effortless Mozart Stefan's famous for. There's some home work too, along with actually valuable follow-up reading material. This is all even before we get to the important networking benefits of working fairly closely with an international group of folks over a month. That span of time lets you forge more connections than you'd expect. In short, this isn't anything like the average yak-yak-yak low-value "2-day certification class." After every session Stefan offered actionable tools Product Owners & Scrum Masters wanting to learn more about Product could implement in their work the very next day. Truly a course worthy of the time investment. 🥰 It's a great on-ramp to direct you towards that next level in maximizing value. #product #productowner #productmanagement #productvision #backlog #advancedproductbacklogmanagement #scrum #agile #productthinking #maximizingvalue #customervalue #stakeholdermanagement

"Retrospectives help teams -- even great ones -- get better." Thus starts Chapter 1 of the brand-new 2nd edition of the bestselling book, Agile Retrospectives (which I co-authored along with Esther Derby and Diana Larsen). But do retrospectives *really* help teams get better? There's evidence otherwise -- how many times have you heard "my retrospectives have been a waste of time" or "we do them as a check-the-box activity only"? This shouldn't be surprising actually -- most Scrum Master certification courses barely even cover retrospectives. And then, Scrum Masters are asked to run them with their teams. It's no wonder they don't work. You can't expect someone to catch a fish before they know how to fish. So, to learn how to fish (retrospective style!), check out our new book. A link is in the comments. #agile #retrospectives #facilitation

Last week, I gained powerful insights that redefined my understanding of what Product Management is. 🎯 Guided by the expertise of Naveen Nanjundappa and the collaborative spirit of my cohort, I delved into the true essence of Scrum. 💡 Naveen Nanjundappa clarified that titles are often just organizational labels, but in Scrum, it’s all about holistic product management. The Product Owner is responsible for both the strategic vision and the tactical execution of the product. While some organizations split these roles into only strategic (PM) or only tactical (BA), Scrum teaches that true product management is the art of balancing both. The training also shed light on common industry misconceptions. Through practical demonstrations and exercises, I discovered the real meaning of Scrum, a revelation that exceeded my expectations. 🚀 I thought I was simply going to revisit familiar concepts, but I walked away with a renewed understanding of what it takes to excel in this role. I’m excited to share that I’ve earned my Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) certification from the Scrum Alliance. This certification validates my expertise in the vital responsibilities of a Product Owner. #Scrum #ProductOwner #CSPO #Agile #ProductManagement #CareerGrowth
