  3. Scrum Role: Product Owner • The Product Owner is the single individual who is responsible for drawing out the most valuable possible product by the desired date. • This is done by managing the flow of work into the team, selecting and refining items from the Product Backlog. http://agileatlas.org/atlas/scrum

  4. Scrum Role: Product Owner The Product Owner maintains the Product Backlog and ensures that everyone knows what is on it and what the priorities are. The Product Owner may be supported by other individuals but must be a single person.

The Product Owner is typically charged by the organization to "get this product out", and is typically the person who is expected to do the best possible job of satisfying all the stakeholders.

  8. Scrum Role: Product Owner The Product Owner does this by managing the Product Backlog, and by ensuring that the Product Backlog, and progress against it, is kept visible. The Product Owner, by choosing what the Development Team should do next and what to defer, makes the scope versus schedule decisions to lead to the best possible product.
