Re: Open (free) Product Owner Assessment

I want to see Scrum and agile methods generally become prevalent where
appropriate, especially in decision and administrative environments. I
believe in iterative processes.

It's been several years since I studied Scrum. I haven't used it formally,
though it's been quite helpful in providing a template of communication
with teams of people who have encountered it elsewhere.

Product Owner is my usual and best role.

But that's not my job title, nor do I think of myself as the "owner" of the
subject of projects and workstreams in my domain of responsibility. The
test is jargon-laden. I feel I know the concepts but not many of the names
applied to them. I don't have the dictionary that translates the words into
their meanings, even though I know the meanings. "Technical Debt", "Value
Points" and "Product Owner", for example. These concepts existed decades or
even centuries before these particular terms were invented. Surely, Scrum
depends more on the meanings of these terms than on the use of these
particular words.

I suggest some careful rewording of the questions to use more common terms.
Perhaps a prefatory sentence or two could precede some of the questions.

Overall, I think the test is a good idea. It attracted my attention and
pointed out a few places where I might profitably brush up my knowledge.
