Hello there folks!

In this video we are going to talk about how can the Agile Coach support product owners in teams

and in the whole organization.

So let's get started.

Well the first thing that comes to mind is that you teach them.

Now it's easy to think about that when it's a very beginner product owner, they're just fresh into the role, but the reality is

that along the way not necessarily everybody you know start in a good way

so you might pick up on things

that you see hmm I think those fundamental concepts are not very well structured in the practice

and in the mind of my fellow product owner

so you teach them no matter the stage they are in the career now you do

so in a non -threatening way and in a collaborative way you don't come in

and you teach life to your PO but you do help them by teaching.

So what do we teach the product owner about?

We teach them about one, agile mindset and agile fundamentals.

How do you plan in agile and you plan quite often

and you don't get so attached to the plan itself and more so to the outcomes.

In speaking of the outcome, how do you start structuring work in a way

that is less requirement based and it's more outcome and result

and here's what you're gonna see in the end leaving the

details to be filled in the blank how do you structure work in smaller batches

so that you can have feedback quicker so all of these things

and obviously as you can think product owner is a role

that exists in the scrum framework

so you teach scrum you're talking about the ceremonies you're talking about the specific elements of the framework,

including the values, without which Scrum can become quite mechanical and not really work as expected.

And you also teach techniques and tactics, yes, because there's a lot of things that might be new to your product owner.

How to write a user story, how to do a story mapping.

They seem quite simple, and they actually are, but they are not that simple if you have been working very differently

if your product owner is someone who is used to maybe was a business analyst

and was writing requirements they are going to struggle a little bit

because they want something to be super complete

and that's really not the point in working in agile

if they were maybe a project manager they might be super attached to very specific dates

and telling people what to do so you really help them with the techniques

that will be very different than the reality that they used to have

so some of the techniques that they have in their tool set will no longer work

and they will need to acquire new ones

so there you are ready to teach them then you mentor them

I started saying a little bit kind of like in the teaching piece

but you mentor them in their role transition

because that's usually what happens I'm yet to see people who are very very fresh out of school

and become a product owner it's more so someone who was project manager before

or maybe a business analysts but then yeah also product managers

which is not the same thing right product managers someone who

really gets a lot more attached to the strategy of things

so they all come with very different ways of thinking mindset in ways of doing

and working and there's a huge element in product ownership in scrum

that the PO works with the team

so even though the PO represents in front faces the product

to the customer the po is not the sole decision maker for whatever happens within the product instead

they collaborate they bring in what are the priorities what is the vision

and the team brings in hey here's what is really possible considering the time considering the technology

and the knowledge that we have inside the team

so product owners really are the folks who need to negotiate

and be very good at prioritization

and figuring out ways of making value come out of the product

and out of anything that the team is working on so that everything

that is created has value for someone somewhere in the chain

in the organization all the way up to the customer

and there is an element of coaching as well

so you definitely will be helping your product owner to figure out who they are in their own leadership space.

No matter the role, no matter the title, the job position in an organization, whoever works in Agile needs to start feeling comfortable with the uncomfortable,

needs to start feeling comfortable with the unknown and uncertainty and a lot of change.

And that's hard for some people.

It doesn't necessarily come naturally and

I would also say that the element of understanding where your leadership is at is very, very important.

In many roles in Agile, but especially in this one, the product owner, they negotiate.

They don't decide completely alone.

So there's a lot of aspects of influential, lateral leadership more so than authoritative.

And, you know, I know what to do.

I decide what to do and you execute.

So for some people, that might also be a huge mindset shift.

And coaching them through that journey of becoming this new type of leader is also something

that you can support your product owner with as well.

I cover a little bit more on the blog post, link down below.

But for the purpose of this video, I'll stop here.

I hope this was useful and

that you understand how you as an agile coach can unlock the superpowers of your product owners

and let me know in the comments here or in the comments on the blog, wherever you prefer.

And I'll see you on the next video.

I'll stop for now.

Bye.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
