Description
The DASA DevOps Product Owner Certification extends traditional Agile Product Owner programs and deals with the extended set of requirements that the Product Owner faces when teams start to take on both Dev and Ops responsibilities.
The program covers the traditional Agile and Scrum concepts and capabilities but in context of DevOps. As a result, this program is ideal for new and aspiring Product Owners and exciting for experienced Product Owners who are keen to understand how their role is evolving as a result of DevOps.
The DASA DevOps Product Owner™ is designed to enable you into a critical leadership role responsible for managing the full lifecycle of a product from concept to grave.
Faster software deployment, increased deployment frequency, and higher change success rate are only some of the visible outcomes of practicing DevOps. Organizations such as Netflix, Spotify, and Facebook are transforming IT by successfully implementing DevOps principles. But you don't have to be big to be a DevOps leader. Companies large and small, young and old, have smoothly made the transition and have the proof of success in their pockets.
