About

I love the Product Owner role because it allows me to combine all the technical, business, management, leadership and communication skills acquired in my earlier roles of developer, business analyst, scrum master and team lead. As Barry Overeem writes: “The Product Owner wants to build the right thing, the Development Team wants to build it right and the Scrum Master wants to build it fast. A great team knows how to balance these different interests.” Barry Overeem, The Scrum Master as a Teacher (https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/scrum-master-teacher) I have lived all three roles in this triangle but always felt that the PO role is the most important. Building the wrong thing right and fast creates no value. The Product Owner ensures that the team builds the right thing. For my understanding of Software Development, also see my blog post: https://walkagile.com/blog/software-development-multidisciplinary/
