Examining the Product Owner Role
The document examines the product owner role, providing an overview of its history and responsibilities. It discusses how product owners focus on outcomes rather than outputs, build shared understanding among stakeholders, and ensure decisions are made. The document also explores where product owners fit within common organizational models, such as reporting to the product manager, business analyst, or both. It questions whether product owners are needed and ultimately argues they are essential for product ownership by making sure decisions are made, focusing on outcomes over outputs, and building a shared understanding.
