In agile product development the product backlog is the single source of truth. It contains the complete roadmap for further development and exists as long as the product exists.
As all the development work roots in the product backlog it is vital for success to keep this artifact in good condition.
This means putting some effort in new product backlog items, adding detail to them as needed and removing the obsolete ones. All these activities are subsumed as refinement should be done continuously by the whole agile team.
But the most crucial factor for a successful product is the prioritization and organisation of the product backlog to deliver the most value to your customer. A good way doing this is to craft challenging and achievable goals that are well aligned with the product vision. After this is done the product backlog items can be clustered to viable releases in view of these goals.
In our techtalk practinar on Backlog Refinement you’ll learn how to keep your backlog tidy and how to to optimize it constantly.
Dates: 4/20 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 4/23 4 p.m.-7 p.m.

benefits
We know that you can learn best when you feel good! Therefore, you receive not only a first class training but also an all around-catering and supervision.

If you don’t wish to spend time and effort organising a training course, but simply want to register and get going while meeting new colleagues in your sector, then come to our open courses. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Go to in-house training
small learning groups
As a training participant, you of course benefit from learning in a group and the experience of the other participants. Yet to ensure that you get to pose all of your own questions, we keep the group sizes very small, with a maximum of 10 participants. This allows our coaches to make certain that we meet the needs of all participants, even if the participants’ levels of existing knowledge differ.
date guarantee
Our courses are guaranteed to take place from as few as three participants, and provide you with long-term planning certainty for your training activities.
printed teaching materials
Making notes, writing down questions, post-it notes with reminders for content that you want to return to later – not a problem at all, as we provide all the materials in printed format at your workstation. Even though we strongly advocate progressive technologies, we value the printed format when it comes to working in a learning environment and to course preparation and follow-up at home, in your hotel or back at your place of work.
trendig’s event ticket of deutsche bahn
In cooperation with Deutsche Bahn, trendig offers special conditions to travel to our training courses and conferences comfortably and environmentally friendly - with 100% electricity generated by renewable resources in long-distance travel, at a nationwide fixed price, from any DB railway station.
The extra for you as a participant: Your event ticket is valid 2 days before and 2 days after the event, for a maximum of 14 days, and city tickets for public transport connections are included.
We know that a sense of well-being helps you learn better. This is why we provide not only fresh knowledge, but also comprehensive catering during all breaks, with fresh and dried fruits, as well as other nerve-soothing foods ranging from nuts to biscuits. A lunch with all participants and our coaches is also a fixed part of our catering package.
hot and cold drinks
We ensure a limitless supply of hot and cold drinks throughout the duration of the course. So you can leave your thermos flask and water bottle at home, and let us serve you.
lean coffee or lean pizza event
Some of the course content requires further discussions and, when considered in-depth, throws up further questions which cannot be resolved within a normal training day. To this end, for all our 4- and 5-day courses we offer an in-depth session on one morning or evening, including catering. The participants jointly agree whether they would prefer to get up earlier or stay later, and which topics they would prefer to explore in greater depth with our coach in an informal atmosphere.
free wifi
We offer free WIFI at all our training locations. To allow you to quickly get to work at our premises, let us know in advance of the course and we will provide you with access details and a password.
examination service
The DIN/ISO 17024 requirements stipulate that training companies cannot themselves provide the examination. An independent certification institute carries out the examination, not least to ensure the independent quality control of our training courses. We offer you the services of the certification institute so that you don’t incur the additional hassle of securing an examination appointment. We invoice the examination fee and organise your exam at the end of the course. You can simply focus on getting prepared.
experienced trainers
In addition to their teaching work, all of our trainers have been and continue to be involved in projects, with each of them possessing more than 15 years of professional experience in various sectors. They have also all additionally acquired teaching qualifications. It is important to us not just to teach the training material, but also to enable each participant to enact what they have learned in the workplace. The point is for it to not feel superimposed, but instead for the acquired knowledge to be incorporated effortlessly into your own work.
feel-good atmosphere
We don’t hold with dilapidated offices that are unfit for running a business from but which are deemed good enough for a week’s training, and whose lack of light makes it easier to read the PPT slides. We know that a sense of well-being helps you learn better. That is why all our rooms are well-lit and have large windows. They feature a wealth of opportunities for creative development. Breaks are always spent outside the classrooms. After all, a change of scene is a key element to then being able to once more concentrate on the course content. And we of course also provide a sufficient supply of hot and cold drinks, as well as the necessary nerve-soothing snacks. Is there anything else we can help you with? Then please let us know! We make many things possible.
individually tailored
Whether it’s alone or in a group, as an open seminar with participants from several companies, or in-house with your own colleagues; whether standardised with certification exams, or tailored to your own professional practice – we provide the right training for a great variety of topics. Even if you wish to combine certain course content, want to put something special together for a distributed team, or are interested in tiered pricing and loyalty bonuses, please get in touch with us directly. We are experienced and flexible, and can offer all teaching programmes as virtual courses and in several languages. We are happy to provide you with an individually tailored offer – we just have to get to know you and your requirements.
early-booking and group discounts

Dom is the rocker amongst our trainers. Not only through sometimes unconventional and creative solutions as Agile Coach, Agile Tester and Test Manager in his projects, but also literally as a singer in rock bands. Due to his years of stage and project experience he knows about the importance of learning the basics and standards - without the right basic beat no melody sounds really smooth. That's why, in addition to imparting knowledge, he also attaches great importance to practical exercises, because most of the great rockers impress with their skills, which have been developed and refined over the years. As a theoretician, no one has ever succeeded on stage. Beyond the standard program, he creatively improvises stories from his large pool of anecdotes and insights from large and small projects from all over the world. This is how unique trainings are created, which sometimes lead to standing ovations from the audience.
The goal of the performance is and remains, of course, to prepare the participants for their large and small projects back at their jobs and, incidentally, for the certification exam, so that they deliver just as well there as they did during the training. So that every training graduate can start his own career as a full band member in his own projects afterwards.
