Releasing The Product
Agile Scrum has three primary roles – a product owner, scrum master and scrum team members (developers, testers, configurators, and engineers for example). The Product Owner is the Voice of the Customer (VOC). This voice represents the interests of the stakeholders, ensuring that what is delivered is done so in priority order. The end goal is that the product fulfills the Definition of Done (DoD).
Unlike a traditional waterfall project where all deliverables are met at the end of the project, Agile Scrum delivers value incrementally. To meet the incremental value of an agile scrum project, the product owner is responsible for:
Defining the feature set that makes up the working deliverables
Prioritization of the feature set and
Release Management and Communication planning of the feature set.
Defining the feature set
Feature driven development is a benefit of Agile delivery. Features are small, user-focused and defined increments of value that are then turned into specific tasks for delivery. Feature sets are bundles of similar features that are generally delivered within the same sprint. Before getting to the definition of a feature set, the product owner is responsible for translating the project vision and scope into a product backlog.
