I (Gene is here) had the pleasure of having a discussion with Roman Pichler, the author of “Agile Product Management with Scrum: Creating Products that Customers Love” (as well as a few other great publications), who recently wrote “Five Product Owner Myths Busted“, making multiple references to SAFe. In our discussion, particularly, we focused on the following three myths:
- Myth #2: The product owner is a tactical role focused on managing the product backlog
- Myth #3: The product owner is responsible for the team performance
- Myth #4: The product owner is responsible for writing user stories
