The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How should a 70-person fintech move three product squads from ad-hoc delivery to working Scrum within 90 days, in a way the delivery data shows will actually fix missed commitments?
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Diagnose delivery dysfunction from real delivery records rather than from assumptions
- Apply Scrum roles, events, and artifacts accurately as defined in the Scrum Guide
- Design a cross-squad Product Backlog and cadence that respects a regulated team's constraints
- Sequence a change-management rollout that anticipates and mitigates concrete resistance
- Communicate a data-backed transformation plan persuasively to skeptical executives

Agile Coach

- presentation
Associate Product Owner
Structuring a Product Backlog across three squads and enforcing Definition of Ready and Done are everyday Product Owner skills. Designing them here from real delivery data prepares you to own backlog quality in a live product team.
