Having one product owner is fine. The problem is that it should be a role someone moves into from one of the disciplines involved. Design, engineering, domain expert etc…
Now we have Product Manager orgs with Associate PMs, junior PMs, senior PMs, group PMs etc…
A junior PM almost by definition can’t be a product owner. They don’t have the seniority to make decisions, so what you end up with is a situation where senior PMs are handing down solutions to junior PMs who are coming up with even more detailed solutions to engineers. I’ve seen it time and again.
- ako 3y agoProduct Owner and Product Manager is not the same, especially in a larger organizations. Product Managers usually dont manage sprint backlogs, as its too fine grained. I often see sprint backlog that contain 20+ stories that add up to 1 customer facing capability/feature.
- sarchertech 3y agoI’m not talking about “product owner” as it’s practiced in shitty scrum orgs. I mean product owner as in the person responsible for the product.
