  • Review Product Ownership: the knowledge, techniques, and practical examples shared in the book are very useful during the exam.
  • Familiarize yourself with Product Vision, Product Strategy, Product Management, Minimal Viable Product, Business Strategy, Managing Stakeholders & Customers, and Value.

Become familiar with topics that the Product Owner must master at

  • How do the product owners get from the product vision to the product strategy and goal?
  • How do product owners create a system to help them figure out what the customer thinks is worth developing? And how do Product Owners involve stakeholders and Scrum Team members in this process?
  • How do product owners achieve alignment among team members in managing and refining the product backlog?
  • How do product owners deal with the order in the product backlog? What frameworks help product owners ensure the Scrum team is always working on the most valuable work?
  • How do product owners deal with estimates, forecasts, and release planning?
  • How do product managers deal with the expectations of stakeholders?

Tips on answering questions

  • Read questions and answers very carefully, every word matters — you can be tricked easily (look out for words like: “must”, “can’t”, “may”, and “might”).
  • When answering, look for the best alternative, instead of trying to find the best answer. The context of questions is very often not clear enough.
  • There is enough time to answer questions — don’t rush, take your time. It took me about 30 minutes to go through all questions, and review provided answers.
