Who is a Product Owner?

 

Do you enjoy defining "the what" and "the why" of your teams work? Are you passionate about making the most impactful features, products, and services for your customers? Do you enjoy working closely with the customer and keeping their needs at the heart of what you do? You might be a product owner.

The product owner is typically close to the business side of the organization. This person understands the needs of the stakeholders and the vision for the finished product. The aspiring product owner is data-driven, understands how to manage stakeholder expectations and can keep an eye on the big picture.
