About the Company
Product Owners are members of the product development team and manage the entire product development process to ensure that every product offers the greatest value possible. They research and determine the clients’ needs to determine which features to include on products, always being well-versed on the goals for the product. Product Owners research the market, competitors and the industry as a whole to inform their decisions and ideas. They also pitch ideas for product features to stakeholders. Product Owners act as the primary contact between the Scrum teams, product development departments and stakeholders to ensure the products meet specific objectives.
Managing the product backlog, which includes all the tasks necessary to complete the project, is another major part of the job. They oversee the full development process, supporting development and looking for ways to improve the product. After product completion, the Product Owner conducts a final review and submits their approval before releasing the product to clients.
