The Great Product Owner: Great tools that PO’s use to help Agile teams shine
Great Product Owners help the team take responsibility by giving them more ownership. They are also able to challenge the team, yet respect their decisions. We also talk about the tools and practices that great PO’s have which help the team deliver, and contribute to the product.
The Bad Product Owner: The Agile anti-patterns that emerge when the PO tells the team what to do
Who is the real Product Owner for your team? That’s a great question that Max asks us at the start of the episode, and we explore further. Not knowing who is the real PO is only one of the anti-patterns we discuss, as we also explore the Bossy PO who wants to tell people exactly what to do. We discuss what that looks like as well as the problems that happen when the PO tries to tell the team what to do.
Are you having trouble helping the team work 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.
