This talk is about how I, as a Product Owner, can supercharge any scrum team by providing them with purpose. I'll talk about the tools and techniques I've learnt through experience and how you can use them to boost your teams performance.
As a product consultant I've had the privilege to work with over 50+ companies. Through my work I've observed teams at all levels and learnt the traits that separate the good from the best.
A strong culture enables the team to perform. Creating a culture of enablement means playing as a team. With transparency, trust and purpose. I'll talk about how to create a strong culture within the team with these these points:
* Vision & Purpose: Understanding not just where to play but how to win, is critical.
* Trust & Psychological Safety: Nobody should fear getting involved, having a voice or an opinion and expressing disagreement.
* Accountability: In order to perform as a single cohesive unit, individuals must be diligent and disciplined in the role they play and its responsibilities.
* Co-creation: There are many ways to solve a problem, the best way is together.
* Celebrations: A motivated scrum team and the value of reward and recognition.
I'll be talking about the importance of storytelling, problem framing, crafting a compelling vision and prioritising techniques that take into account both business and customer value.

1. Create alignment through vision and strategy.
