Main topics:
- Agile from the Product Owner (PO) perspective.
- PO has the real Product Vision and he has to share it.
- Stakeholders are the product’s clients or users.
- The Development Team is small, cross-functional and self-organizing.
- The Development Team has a limited capacity in a “time-boxed” period.
- PO is in charge of Product Backlog and needs to say no when a new feature proposed by a stakeholder doesn’t fit the Product Vision.
- PO need to “guess” the story size and value. He/She needs to communicate with Stakeholders and the Development Team in order to it.
- Estimating and prioritization is a habit, not a process. Something important today can be obsolete tomorrow, and vice-versa.
- Ideal Product Backlog has small stories at the front and big and imprecise ones at the back. Doing it in a “just in time” fashion give us better insights.
- PO needs to recognize the “Types of Risks” that exist in which story.
- PO needs to be able to prioritize short-term (reactive work) and long-term (pro-active) activities.
- Building a product:
- PO is responsible for building the right thing.
- Development Team is responsible for building the thing right.
- Coach (Scrum Master) wants to build the thing fast.
- Keep trying to find the balance.
- Be aware of Technical Debt.
- Multiple teams working on the same product.
- Success for PO usually is passion and communication.
- If your organization doesn’t like truth and honesty, it probably won’t like Agile.
