I’m familiar with the way of working described in the Skype web section. One thing this article has made clear is how much responsibility is pushed down to engineering, and removed from product ownership. The product owner is not even tasked with approving the work done! Nor having any real kind of spec. However in my experience they still have veto power and the power to change what the project is at their whim. This is all done with the idea of “autonomous teams” held firmly in mind. Yeah you’re autonomous... you can decide for yourselves how you will do what the project owner has decided they want today. But they are still the owner! And will be the face of success when your project ships. I suppose it’s a good thing they pay well.
