Mobile Product Owner

Overview:
**PURPOSE**:
The Product Owner (PO) is responsible for maximizing the business value in software products delivered by Agile Scrum Teams. The PO has a strong technical and operational understanding of the product and as this is primarily an internal facing role they work closely with their Product Manager to gain a clear understanding of the business problems customers need the product to solve as well as the vision and strategic direction of the overall portfolio.

In addition to this the Product Owner works directly with selected partner customers to gain feedback on existing (i.e. delivered), in-flight? and proposed product features.

The Product Owner uses this input plus their own experience to define what capabilities (i.e. value) the product should deliver and the relative priority of delivering these capabilities. In order to deliver this value the Product Owner works hand-in-glove with their Scrum Team (or Scrum Teams in some cases) on a daily basis to scrub the Product Backlog create Features and User Stories define Acceptance Criteria set priorities attend team stand-ups accept the Done stories from the team demo the work done by the team to the wider community and generally be available to the team on a daily basis to answer their questions on the nature of the features being developed.

Furthermore the Product Owner will usually drive the Design Partner process whereby a small number of selected SITA customers are provided with incremental software updates throughout the development process of a new release.All requests for work to be performed by the Scrum Team are channeled through and prioritized by the Product Owner.
