Who it is for

Release Train Engineers, Product Managers, senior Product Owners and Scrum Masters who onboard a new Product Owner.

How it works

  1. Add the new Product Owner with their mentor and Scrum Master; everyone gets a personal link that opens the questionnaire of the current week.
  2. Each week all three answer the same rotating statements from their own side, reflect on the week, and the Product Owner sets a goal for the next one.
  3. Read the landing curve and the eight areas, open the conversation sheet of the week, and follow how the coaching lands from both sides.

Questions

Why do the questions change every week?
Two of eight growth areas are in focus each week and every area returns with new statements, so nobody can answer from memory. The same statement only comes back after twelve weeks.
Is the new Product Owner being graded?
No. The statements are about concrete things that happened this week, and the point is the difference between their own view and what the others saw: that is what the weekly conversation is about.
Can I follow a Product Owner together with a colleague?
Yes. Add other rte-toolbox users by email address as owner or editor. The people who fill in the questionnaire never need an account.

Part of the Practitioner membership: €6 a month, or €60 a year.
