Agile Product Ownership: A Guide to Leading Agile Teams and Creating Great Products

**Corrected fourth edition**As some readers noted, there was a problem in the formatting of the third edition. Those are fixed now. Sorry for the trouble. Are you taking on the role of an Agile Product Owner? Looking to learn how to be a great one? Look no further... Thousands of books have been written about Agile software development and Agile project management. In nearly every one of these books, mention is made of the importance of the product owner, and how without this third piece to the puzzle the whole scheme falls apart. In fact, some of the literature will tell you that if you don’t have a good product owner, you might as well abandon Agile as a concept; your results will be disappointing without one. However, that’s generally all the guidance that these books provide. Few of them discuss what a product owner is meant to do or how they are supposed to do it. It’s as if the developers are unwilling to tell the business how to be good partners and hold up their end of the bargain. Perhaps the developers are fatigued from years of having the business tell them how to write software. This leaves our would-be product owners in a bad spot; they understand the role is important, but they don’t understand the role itself. This is a glaring weakness in the community at present. The need for quality product owners is vital to the success of the whole movement, yet the role is being overlooked. This book is a modest attempt to fill some of that void.
