Scrum Pattern: Product Owner

 
Deutsche Übersetzung

  
ContextSeveral people are trying to influence the way a goal is reached by using a Product Backlog.
ProblemSeveral people do not agree on how to reach a goal.

In most organizations it is not sufficiently possible for a group of equals to reach consensus on a continuous basis to decide about how a goal should be reached. Having one person with the responsibility for the final decisions allows for faster decisions and more continuity.

Forcestoo little/too many people sharing responsibility
SolutionEstablish a single person with extensive domain knowledge as Product Owner with complete responsibility for the Product Vision and the Product Backlog.

The Product Owner often combines the role of a product manager with profit/loss-responsibility and several responsibilities of a project manager. His main goal is to create value, driven by the Product Backlog.

Resulting ContextAs a single “wrenchable neck”, the Product Owner, provides direction and requirements by managing a Product Backlog.
