The availability of the PO is a critical aspect of the dynamic between team and PO. Through our work we can help the PO establish a powerful collaboration with the team.
The Great Product Owner: Developing the team’s relationship with the POA great PO is available for the team to ask questions, and through that presence helps create a positive and energizing relationship with the team. Thanks to this presence, the team and the PO had a constant and quick feedback cycle established that helped them create a working collaboration.
The Bad Product Owner: Working with an absent POThe background of what is going on with the Product Owner outside the work with our team can give us critical clues as to why they might be absent from the team’s ceremonies. In this segment, we talk about a specific type of “absent” PO, the PO that was involved in multiple projects.
