Product Owner Advanced: Mastering Team Motivation

This course is designed for experienced Product Owners who want to take their skills to the next level by focusing on what truly drives performance: motivation. It is not an introduction to Scrum or product ownership. Instead, it builds on your existing experience and helps you reflect on how your leadership, communication, and daily decisions impact your team's energy and engagement.

You will learn how to create an environment where your team can focus, collaborate, and stay motivated. The course introduces key concepts from psychology, like Self-Determination Theory and psychological safety, and explains how they apply in real-world agile teams. More importantly, it shows you how to use this knowledge in practice.

Through concrete examples, you will explore how to protect your team from distractions, write clearer stories, handle priority changes, and spot early signs of disengagement. You will also learn how to lead in difficult situations-whether that means resolving conflict, guiding your team through uncertainty, or improving your own communication style. If you want to lead your team in a way that boosts motivation and improves how work gets done, this course will give you the tools to do so-grounded in research and shaped by practical experience.

The result: a more effective team, smoother delivery, and greater impact in your role as a Product Owner.
