Path to Agility 2011 - Ken Schwaber - Scrum and the Product Owner
Ken and I chat about the Product Owner roll and the complexity that can emerge when we ask too much of the product owner. This has always been a key role and we have sometimes dode the project a disservice by focusing the PO on the needs of development. This can sometimes create a situation where the PO is focused too much on User Stories and not enough on the product context and value.
It has been quite a wihle since I have chatted with Ken and I look forward to chatting with him again.
In addition to the other large conferences that Ken will be speaking at he will also be a keynote at the AgileDC conference.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.
