The collaboration with the Product Owner is a key aspect of the Scrum Master work, but there’s also the collaboration between Product Owners that work on the same product. We discuss these different aspects of collaboration and how they affect the PO role.

The Bad Product Owner: What destroys collaboration between PO’s

Listen in to learn about what can destroy the collaboration between Product Owners.
