The Three(3) Pillars of Scrum

General Teams struggle to move certain activities forward and problems teams faces are below :

• Unclear priorities and roles.
• Lack of communication due to silo’d activities
• Lack of visible progress on what’s important and why
• Lack of accountability to each other
• Lack of understanding of the true state of the project

These problems are common with many teams. These are typical problems that can be addressed based on the 3 pillars of a Scrum mindset.

• Transparency
• Inspection
• Adaption

Product Owner – Responsibilities

In Scrum, the Product Owner has these responsibilities :

• decides on release date and content
• is responsible for the profitability of the product (ROI)
• prioritizes features according to market value
• can change features and priority every iteration
• accepts or rejects work results
• defines product features

The Product Owner’s focus is return on investment… The Product
Owner represents all stakeholders [customers, funders]

A great product-manager Product Owner also pays attention outward
to the customers and market.

product vision |business plan | customer relations  | competitor analysis | ideation, innovation | market testing 
| channels | pricing | market research | profitability | risk management
| product review

The role of Product Owner implies a balance between outward and
inward focus, in which the Product Owner commits to at least spend
some time each iteration with teams.
