In this snippet from Texavi, Pardha Mantravadi elaborates on the role, responsibilities, activities and deliverables of Product Owner in a software development project following Scrum agile methodology. Product owner (PO) sets the vision and direction for the product. PO interacts with the key stakeholders, specifies and communicates the product roadmap and guides the scrum development team in realising the roadmap. They also play a vital role in reviewing the product from time to time, provide feedback and also showcases the product while it is still in formative stages. This helps the development team to get early feedback from not only the PO but also customers, users and other stakeholders thereby reducing the rework and in steering the product in the right direction.
