This topic covers the product owner's central responsibility of managing and optimizing the product backlog. Students must understand the relationship between outcome and output, actions the product owner could take to maximize outcomes and impact while minimizing outputs, terms related to product economics (ROI, cost of delay, opportunity cost), and how to describe value from multiple stakeholder perspectives. The topic also covers techniques to measure value, creating a product backlog that supports achievement of a product goal, creating product backlog items with descriptions of desired outcome and value, and approaches to refining the product backlog.
