The Role of Product Owner

A product owner is responsible for the maximising the value of a product by defining and prioritising the work for the delivery team. This goes beyond just managing the product backlog or requirements engineering to considering the wider possibilities and opportunities in the market. This requires entrepreneurship, imagination and long-term vision to guarantee a product's success.
