Ronny Deicke: The Decision Delays Product Owner, an anti-pattern that makes Scrum teams slower

From the stories PO’s tell, the team can get a much better understanding of what they are being asked to do. Great PO’s will help the team through their storytelling, and User Story writing skills. We also discuss the critical role PO’s play in the decision-making process, and how that directly affects the team’s success

The Great Product Owner: The Story Teller PO

Great Product Owners learn to tell great stories. First while talking to the team, and then on their own. In this segment, we talk about a PO that started by learning the craft of telling stories, and then translated that to the User Stories he wrote with the team. 

The Bad Product Owner: The Decision Delayer PO

In some teams, the PO is unable to make decisions. When that happens, we have the stage set for the team to struggle, and be constantly delayed by the lack of decisions. In this segment, we talk about the consequences for the team of a PO that can’t make decisions on their own, and we discuss possible steps to take with that PO and that organization.

 

Are you having trouble helping the team working well with their Product Owner? We’ve put together a course to help you work on the collaboration team-product owner. You can find it at: bit.ly/coachyourpo. 18 modules, 8+ hours of modules with tools and techniques that you can use to help teams and PO’s collaborate.
