Key Details

AI for Product Owners

Generative AI radically changes how Product Owners discover, describe, and order work. In four practical hours, learn how to use AI as a co-pilot for the time-consuming parts of the role, such as drafting personas, refining stories, ordering the backlog; while keeping strategy, prioritization, and stakeholder judgment firmly in human hands.

This is a hands-on workshop. You bring a real product or backlog. You leave with AI-augmented artifacts you can use the next day, a reusable Custom GPT tailored to your context, and a working prompt library for ongoing PO work.

Stay for the 45-minute bonus session after the core workshop, an extended prompt lab on your real backlog, with peer review and trainer coaching. The four-hour core earns the credential; the bonus 45 minutes is where you apply it to your own product.

Live and instructor-led. No exam. Earn a non-expiring Scrum Alliance AI for Product Owners microcredential and claim SEUs.

Discounts

Options for your situation

Request your discount on the session (a class on date/time with a trainer) you want. If more than one discount applies explain in your comments.

You can pay in installments by choosing Splitit at checkout.

For Grow-Lean Alumni, log in or use your account email when registering, and receive an automatic discount. If you also qualify for another discount, request it, and, if your email matches, we know you are an alumni.

If you have a Visa or Mastercard credit card you can pay in monthly installments. There are no fees or interest if you pay on time! Your available credit must be enough to cover the full cost and there is a hold on your credit card for the amount that you have not paid.

For example, if your final fee is $999 and you choose three installments:

  • You would pay $333 today and have a $666 hold placed on your credit card.
  • The following month your credit card would be charged another $333 and the hold would be reduced to $333.
  • Your final payment would be $333.

If you are not familiar with the term "hold" this is similar to what hotels do when you check in, to cover extra expenses you may incur including the mini bar.

The benefit to you is that you do not pay any interest or fees if all payments are on time.

Agenda

Eight practice-driven sections in the four-hour core, plus a 45-minute bonus lab.
Every section includes a hands-on activity using AI on a real PO task.

1
AI Tools a PO Actually Uses
  • Survey the categories of generative AI a PO touches in a typical week.
  • Match the right kind of tool to the right kind of PO task.
  • Decide what to keep human, what to delegate to AI, and what to do together.
2
Prompt Engineering for Product Owners
  • Learn the prompt patterns that move a draft from generic to product-specific.
  • Use role, context, examples, and constraints to control AI output.
  • Iterate prompts the same way you iterate stories: small steps, fast feedback.
3
Build a Custom PO Assistant
  • Build along with the trainer to assemble a Custom GPT (or equivalent) tuned to your product, voice, and Definition of Ready.
  • Load it with your context: positioning, personas, vocabulary, and quality bars.
  • Walk away with a reusable assistant your team can extend.
4
AI for Product Discovery and Strategy
  • Draft and stress-test positioning statements, personas, and lean canvases with AI as a critique partner.
  • Use AI to surface assumptions you might not see on your own.
  • Keep strategy decisions human; learn where the AI's confidence is least trustworthy.
5
AI for User Stories and Backlog Items
  • Generate, split, and refine stories, not just in "As a… I want to…" form.
  • Draft acceptance criteria and Given/When/Then scenarios that hold up under review.
  • Catch ambiguity, missing edge cases, and contradictions earlier.
6
AI Across the Scrum Events
  • Use AI to prepare for refinement, planning, review, and retrospective without replacing the conversation.
  • Summarize discussions, draft follow-ups, and capture decisions cleanly.
  • Find the line between helpful automation and skipping the work that matters.
7
AI for Backlog Ordering and Forecasting
  • Use AI to compare ordering options against value, risk, learning, and dependency.
  • Draft lightweight forecasts and roadmap narratives stakeholders can read.
  • Recognize when AI is pattern-matching past data instead of reasoning about the future.
8
Risk, Bias, and Responsible Use
  • Spot hallucinations, bias, and false confidence before they reach the team.
  • Apply practical guardrails for data privacy, IP, and customer information.
  • Build a personal checklist for what you will and will not put through AI.
+ 45 MIN BONUS
In the bonus time, use AI to simulate, pre-test, and pre-validate your assumptions; apply prompts to real backlog items; and get peer review and trainer coaching on your prompts and outputs.

What Sets This Apart

A live Product Owner workshop driven by AI.
Not an AI tutorial dressed up as a Product Owner course.
Practical & Real
A four-hour live workshop taught by an actively practicing Product Owner, with a 45-minute bonus session built in for working AI against your real backlog. The difference shows up in the prompts you write, the outputs you keep, and the judgment calls you make about when AI helps and when it quietly misleads you.
Your Product Context
You bring a real product or backlog. You leave with AI-augmented artifacts for that product, including positioning, personas, refined stories, and ordering rationale, plus a Custom GPT tuned to your context that you can keep using after class.
Product Judgment First
Product Owner experience comes first, AI second. Prompt patterns are only as good as the product judgment behind them, and this session is built around strategy, prioritization, stakeholders, customers, and backlog decisions rather than generic AI examples.
