Course Overview
This enhanced DASA DevOps Product Owner course provides the complete standard DASA curriculum while adding essential embedded systems content not covered in conventional courses. You’ll receive full preparation for the official DASA Product Owner certification exam plus specialized knowledge for managing products that combine hardware and software components.
Beyond the standard DASA content on product vision, backlog management, and value delivery, this course adds embedded-specific modules: managing backlogs that span hardware revisions and firmware updates, coordinating sprints with PCB fabrication cycles, writing user stories that capture hardware constraints, and facilitating demos that include physical prototypes. You’ll learn how to apply DASA’s Product Owner principles when dealing with long hardware lead times, safety certifications, component obsolescence, and the unique challenges of embedded product lifecycles.
Learning Objectives
- Master the Product Owner role within Scrum and DevOps for hardware-software products
- Manage unified product backlogs that span hardware revisions, firmware, and software features
- Create compelling product visions that balance market needs with technical constraints
- Write user stories that effectively capture embedded requirements (power, memory, safety, real-time)
- Coordinate agile sprints with hardware prototype cycles and component lead times
- Facilitate cross-functional planning and demos across ME/EE/SW teams
- Navigate component lifecycle management and obsolescence in product roadmaps
- Establish value metrics that track both software velocity and hardware iteration success
