NOTICE: In March we are meeting in our new PERMANENT location: 5181 Natorp Blvd, Mason, OH 45040
The Scrum Framework tells us that a Product Owner is the sole person responsible for a litany of responsibilities from setting the product vision and communicating the product roadmap, prioritizing the backlog and writing user stories, acceptance criteria, reviewing and approving stories that are completed to collaborating with and understanding the needs of all of your stakeholders, both external and internal, as well as being available around the clock for the scrum team. This model might work for SaaS companies where the organization is product-focused and a true Product Management structure is in place. But what about the rest of us? Those of us building internal systems? Commercial Products that don’t have easy access to the end-users? Infrastructure teams? In this talk, Marcy will explain the difference between “Big Product Owner” and “Small Product Owner” and tell you how to best leverage the power of BAs, POs, internal Stakeholders and customers to achieve a product vision, prioritized backlog, clear user stories and acceptance criteria, and drive the best value of the product your scrum team is building.
