The Product Owner is a member of the Agile team who represents the voice of the customer and stakeholders, and is responsible for defining and prioritizing the team backlog. The Product Owner works closely with the Product Management, who provides the vision and roadmap for the solution, and the Business Owners, who are the key stakeholders and value approvers. The Product Owner also collaborates with the Scrum Master, who facilitates the team’s process and helps remove impediments, and the team members, who implement the backlog items and deliver value. The Product Owner’s main responsibilities are:
To be a single voice for the customer and stakeholders, and ensure that the team understands their needs and expectations
To own and manage the team backlog, and decompose features into stories that are valuable, estimable, testable, and small
To prioritize the team backlog based on the business value, dependencies, risks, and feedback
To participate in the PI planning event, and define and communicate the team’s PI objectives and iteration goals
To accept the stories that meet the definition of done and provide feedback to the team
To attend the team and system demos, and showcase the team’s accomplishments to the stakeholders
To continuously engage with the customer and stakeholders, and incorporate their feedback into the backlog References: Exam Study Guide: SP (6.0) - SAFe® Practitioner, Product Owner
