1 Certified Agile Scrum Product Owner

2 WHAT IS CASPO? The Product Owner (PO) is the member of the Agile Team who serves as the customer proxy and is responsible for working with Product Management and other stakeholders - including other Product owners-to define and prioritize stories in the team backlog so that the Solution effectively addresses program priorities (features/enablers) while maintaining technical integrity. Ideally, the Product Owner is collocated with the rest of the team, where they typically share management, incentives, and culture. But Product Owner also attends most relevant Product Management meetings about planning and back login/vision refinement. The Product Owner is the key member of the Scrum Team and shoulders the responsibility of leading the project strategically, collaborating with customers and team on a daily basis, and managing the business value. Though he doesn't need to be an expert in the process, the Product Owner must have sufficient understanding of the Agile Manifesto and enough knowledge to assist the ScrumMaster.
