- Velocity, delivery forecasting and burn up chart
- Product vision
- Prioritisation – value and effort
- Stakeholder management
- PBIs (Product Backlog Items) – user stories and unit tests
- WIP limit
- Product iterations
- Agile
- Communication and collaboration
- Context switching
- Problem solving
- Scrum
- Backlog grooming
- Risk
- Prototyping
- Tech debt

- Product Vision

- Epic breakdown to user stories
- Requirement workshops and documenting them
- User story definition
- Detailed acceptance criteria
- Backlog grooming
- Sprint planning
