The PO is the member of the Agile team who serves as the customer proxy responsible for working with Product Management and other stakeholders-including other POs-to define and prioritize stories in the Team Backlog. This allows the Solution to effectively address program priorities while maintaining technical integrity.

Responsibilities:
  • Maintaining the team backlog - With input from System Architect/Engineering and other stakeholders, the PO has the primary responsibility for building, editing, and maintaining the team backlog. Consisting mostly of user stories, it also includes defects and enablers. Backlog items are prioritized based on user value, time, and other team dependencies determined in the PI planning event and refined during the PI.
  • Iteration Planning - The PO reviews and reprioritizes the backlog as part of the prep work for Iteration Planning, including coordination of dependencies with other POs. During the iteration planning event, the PO communicates story detail and priorities and ensures the team aligns and agrees on a final iteration plan.
  • Just-in-time story elaboration - Most backlog items are elaborated into user stories for implementation. This may happen before the iteration, during iteration planning, or during the iteration. While any team member can write stories and acceptance criteria, the PO maintains proper flow.
  • Apply Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) - POs collaborate with their team to detail stories with acceptance criteria and examples in the form of acceptance tests. See the BDD article for more details. Accepting stories - The PO works with the team to agree on accepted story completion. This includes validating that the story meets acceptance criteria, that it has the appropriate, persistent acceptance tests, and that it otherwise complies with its Definition of Done (DoD). In so doing, the PO also assures a level of quality, focusing primarily on fitness for use.
  • Understand enabler work - While POs are not expected to drive technological decisions, they are supposed to understand the scope of the upcoming enabler work and collaborate with System and Solution Architects/Engineering to assist with decision-making and sequencing of the critical technological infrastructures that will host the new business functionality. This can often be best accomplished by establishing a capacity allocation, as described in the Team Backlog article.
  • Participate in team demo and retrospective - POs collaborate with their team and any other stakeholders in the team demo. They also participate in the Iteration Retrospective, where the teams gather to improve their processes and are active in the Agile Release Train-s (ART-s) Inspect and Adapt (I&A) workshop.
  • Experience in leading team & creating stories
  • Strong experience in Jira and understanding how best to organize Jira tickets.
  • Strong knowledge of Agile principles
  • Preferred experience as Scrum Master who has lead developments team, has testing experience and advise on design strategy.
