Product Owner

Product Owner Core Responsibilities

Works closely with R&D development teams to maximise the value delivered to the customers.

Understands how the Enterprise backlog model operates with Epics, Capabilities, Features, and Stories.

Effectively communicates with both internal and external stakeholders.

Establishes, prioritises, and helps sequence backlog items based on defined strategies, events, and dependencies with other teams.

Ensures the common understanding of backlog items, their acceptance criteria and alignment on definition of done with R&D scrum teams.

Cross-coordinates with other Product Owners and cross-functional roles throughout the development and delivery process, focusing on their immediate solution team.

Independently resolves complex projects, issues, and challenges encountered.

Team Backlog Ownership

The principal responsibility of the PO is to maintain a prioritised, transparent, and straightforward backlog of work items that align with the product strategy and enable maximising the product value.

Refines the backlog items with R&D teams to reach a common understanding with sufficient detail for the team to work on for the current and next iteration.

Customer Engagement

Our business success is driven by our customers and in turn by their success. In order to ensure our products solve our customers' challenges we continually iterate on our solutions asking our customers for their feedback.

The PO works with their PM and other cross-functional roles, creating opportunities to visit customers and observe users in their environment whenever possible.

The PO actively seeks new opportunities for engagement with customers, builds and strengthens customer relationships.

In establishing the Sprint Review event, the PO will invite their customers describing the value they may expect to receive. Typically performed over video conferencing, a Sprint Review will showcase the most recent development.

Presents at industry conferences on their product, the technical vertical into which our products integrate, and on relevant adjacencies is strongly encouraged for all POs.

When a support case is escalated to the development team for further action, the PO must be aware of the case and may manage the case to completion.

Collaboration with Product Manager

The PO stands back to back with the PM, working together on the same broader problems but each tackling different areas of work and levels of detail.

While the Product Manager is considered ‘outward facing’ in meeting potential customers and buyers, the Product Owner is considered ‘inward facing’ and focused on existing customers and colleagues in development and support.

The close collaboration of PO with PM is crucial for the creation of a product roadmap, adjustments and execution on the product strategy, and the overall success of the product.

Product management oversees market research, monitors competitive activity, and identifies customer needs.

Collaboration with Development Teams

The PO closely collaborates with development teams to ensure the items with the highest business value are prioritised, refined, understood, and ready for the development teams to pull into their iterations.

The PO represents the “voice” of the customers and internal stakeholders towards the team.
