Product owner was supposed to be the real customer or at least internal customer before the great takeover of agile concepts by companies.

- rhaway84773 4y agoI miss when we had a PO and PM with clearly defined roles. Then we had to go Agile, and suddenly we replaced a useful PM with a pointless Scrum Master, whose only role was to try and not play a role as much as possible. Of course, “Agile” failed, so the only solution was to become even more Agile with SAFe, so now to the Scrum Master you add pointless release train engineers to make sure the scrum master was doing even less than they were doing before. Now that SAFe is failing I’m dreading to see what useful role they will replace with something completely useless as they go even more Agile, because Agile failing simply means we weren’t doing enough Agile.
- fatnoah 4y agoMy company started with a PM acting as Project Manager, Product Owner, and Product Manager. That was a necessity due to size, but as we've grown we're starting to build those out into distinct roles, and the positive impact it's had on the process is beautiful to behold.
