Succeeding with Agile

Responsibilities of the Product Owner

Compiling an exhaustive list of the responsibilities of the product owner would be difficult. Every application exists within its own context of company culture, individual and team competencies, competitive forces, and so on. This context strongly influences how the product owner role is performed in different companies. So instead of providing a checklist of product owner responsibilities (“must attend sprint planning meeting”), I find it more helpful to think in terms of two things that a product owner provides the team: a vision and boundaries.
