Description

This 2 + hours course is aimed at teaching you all you need to know about creating & maintaining an Agile product backlog. I will demonstrate this by creating a product backlog for an e-commerce web application organically from scratch in this course. Course contains tons of examples on every aspect discussed. 

I created this course as I could not find an in-depth & comprehensive course on this topic anywhere online.  

Hence, this course is very likely the very 1st course of its kind online based on its content and delivery. 

Who this course is for:
  • This course is must for if you are a Product Owner or Business Analyst that is responsible for creating and or maintaining a product backlog
  • Since a good product backlog is the foundation of a software application, anyone who is part of an Agile product development organization will find this course immensely useful – specifically roles such as Agile practitioners such as Scrum Master, Scrum Coach, Release Train Engineer Agile developers & testers Development & Test team Managers IT Project & Program Managers Stakeholders of an Agile product development organization

A very practical, pragmatic, and persuasive couse on Agile Product backlog. I would like to thank Sanjeet for making it relevant by picking a very practical use case of building an ecommerce site's user stories from start to end. Hope that I'll apply the learnings in my own product or companies where I work for. By the way, Agile User stories creation is not only useful for product managers or owners instead it can be really a handful tool for UX designers, like me. Best regards, Zohdi
