Overview
Effective product ownership focuses your team on outcome over output, builds shared understanding, and makes sure decisions get made. These activities are key to building the right thing and not building things that aren’t needed.
When your teams are separated from each other, or your product owners are separated from your teams, those activities become more difficult, and more important.
This webinar shares 6 tips you can use to practice effective product ownership in a distributed situation. Watch this webinar to find out how to:
- Build shared understanding so that everyone knows what they’re building and why
- Establish clear areas of responsibility for product and development
- Design a transparent view of your portfolio so your teams can identify and manage dependencies
- Create a clear backlog refinement process so that your teams know which backlog items are ready to work on and what’s coming up next
- Describe backlog items so that you can prevent avoidable questions and clarifications
- Clarify your communication methods so your teams know how best to collaborate at a distance
