We use cucumber at work for a few weeks now. Our product owner actually writes the initial feature files for our end-to-end tests and we refine them. We keep sending him back on what we changed and why, and the product owner learns from that and tries to do it the next time. We started doing this around 6 weeks ago and it is helping us developers a lot in my opinion, as well as getting some work off of us. Sure, we need to refine the POs feature definitions, but it's better than nothing.

Before the feature files get written, have a conversation with the PO and other stakeholders. Involve a QA person and relevant developers. Catch the changes early, ask for more examples of the feature or goal, "have you thought about ...", "What happens in this case...?". You will get better quality features with less rework, because you are writing the thing the PO actually wants and cover off edge cases before they crop up in testing.
