Managing scope takes on different meanings for product owners, project managers, and developers alike. It is a human reality that we can't read peoples minds, so when a client requests features or updates we need to be able to understand what the impact of that request will be, for the business and all of the individuals involved.

In this session, find out how to orchestrate and align all of these perspectives toward a successful project outcome.

Co-presenting this session will be a real world team of a product owner, a project manager, and a developer, sharing successful experiences, examples, and lessons learned from their work together on various client projects.
