In my experience, both are needed. Product owners and developers who understand the product. It's possible to have both, they're not mutually exclusive.

- marcinzm 2y agoYou're right, I didn't mean there shouldn't be PMs but rather that the PMs shouldn't be the sole people concerned with product.
- swat535 2y agoYes, but it's the Product Owner's responsibility to clearly understand the requirements from both customers and the business and communicate them clearly to engineering. Having engineers handle "support calls" doesn't make much sense, they are not equipped to manage product feedback or understand the business implications.
