Professional Scrum Product Owner II (PSPO II) Training Course

Business analysis is the process of investigating, understanding, and defining business needs to develop solutions that meet those needs. It is a critical component in the process of managing change within an organisation and designing new business solutions. The goal of business analysis is to ensure that technological, process-based, or organisational solutions align with business objectives and requirements. It plays a vital role in ensuring the effectiveness of projects and organisational changes by verifying that introduced solutions are accurate, feasible, and fully responsive to business requirements.

JIRA Software is a robust platform for project management, yet teams often focus heavily on the software features rather than the underlying methodology.

This instructor-led, live training guides participants through the collaborative capabilities of Jira and Confluence, demonstrating how these tools work together to support the team's primary objective: successful product or project delivery. Participants will learn to leverage these platforms efficiently to centralize user requirements, testing, and communication in a single, cohesive environment.

The curriculum covers Jira projects, Confluence spaces, workflows, boards (both Kanban & Scrum), planning and dependencies, Jira/Confluence integration, reporting, key and custom fields, issue types, screens, and filtering.

Participants will develop the skills to function as high-performing Agile Teams, manage backlogs efficiently, and successfully plan and execute iterations. The curriculum places significant emphasis on understanding the team's position within the ART and how to collaborate, plan, and drive continuous improvement in synergy with other teams.

The training equips teams to actively participate in Program Increment (PI) cycles, covering both Team-level and Program-level events, with a particular emphasis on upcoming PI planning sessions.
