Product Owner Coaching Cards

Only about one quarter are relevant. Overpriced.

Useful, gets things done

Totally over priced for what they are. I wish I hadn't purchased them.

It doesn't matter if you're a new Product Owner, or someone who's been doing the role for a long time. Occasionally you need some inspiration to aid you to think differently about a problem. These cards allow for this to out of the blue question to occur; simply pick a card at random, or flick through and choose one that jumps out at you.By considering the question and it's meaning, you either clarify that you're happy with your understanding and current decisions, or find there are holes in your thinking.I particularly like, 'if your product were a living, talking, entity, what would it say to you right now?' it may sound a little left-field, but thinking about a problem in a different domain can be so powerful.

Being a Product Owner is tough. It's hard to deal with the day-to-day but still understand and keep focused on the bigger picture. This deck of cards will help Product Owners do both. Some focus on the product at hand - "Who really wants this product or service that I am building" and some on the Product Owner themselves "Do the team invite you to their retrospectives?". I believe that reflecting on the questions in these cards will help any and every Product Owner to realise the potential of their role. Highly recommend.

For anyone in the world of product development these cards are brilliant for planned reviews of progress or quick spot checks on what is happening. I have recently acted as a product owner on a new project and having something to use in planning and review sessions that is a departure from the teams train of thought has helped stimulate some highly productive conversations that we would not otherwise have had.

As a Certified Product Owner and agile coach, I have found these cards really useful when looking for prompts when coaching and when also thinking about my own products! A great, handy little tool!

As someone who loves help people think for themselves, by asking questions rather than giving answers, I love these cards. They're applicable to any role and process and I'm sure I'll find myself reaching for them when I'm looking for inspiration.
