Responsibilities of a Product Owner include
determining the project's initial overall requirements and kicking off project
activities; this may involve interaction with the Program Product Owner and the
Portfolio Product Owner to ensure that the project aligns with direction
provided by senior management. He represents user(s) of the product or service
with a thorough understanding of the user community. He secures the initial and
on-going financial resources for the project, focusing on value creation and overall
Return on Investment (ROI) and assesses the viability and ensures the delivery
of the product or service.
Product Owner must understand the needs and
priorities of the stakeholders, including customers and users, and hence this
role is commonly referred to as the Voice of the Customer.
The Product Owner represents the interests
of the stakeholder community to the Scrum Team. He/she ensures clear
communication of product or service functionality requirements to the Scrum
Team, maintains a dual view, understands and supports the needs and interests
of all stakeholders, while also understanding the needs and workings of the
Scrum Team
