Product Owner

We are currently looking for a talented Product Owner to help contribute to our amazing mission. The Product Owner (PO), reporting to the Product Manager, is a member of the Agile Team responsible for defining Stories and prioritizing the Team Backlog to streamline the execution of program priorities while maintaining the conceptual and technical integrity of the Features or components for the team. The PO has a significant role in maximizing the value produced by the team and ensuring Stories meet the user's needs and comply with the Definition of Done.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Participation in Roadmap Planning and Goal Setting - As a member of the Product Team, the PO is heavily involved in backlog refinement and prep for roadmap planning. The PO updates the team backlog and typically reviews and contributes to the vision, Roadmap, and content presentations. During the planning, the PO is involved with story definition, providing the clarifications necessary to assist the team with their story estimates and sequencing.


• Maintaining the team backlog - With input from Product Manager/Engineering and other stakeholders, the PO has the primary responsibility for building, editing, and maintaining the team backlog. Consisting mostly of user stories, it also includes defects and enablers. Backlog items are prioritized based on user value, time (Impact vs Effort), and other team dependencies.


• Sprint Planning - The PO reviews and reprioritizes the backlog as part of the prep work for Sprint Planning, including coordination of dependencies with other POs. During the sprint planning event, the PO communicates story detail and priorities and ensures the team aligns and agrees on a final sprint plan. Just-in-time story elaboration - most backlog items are elaborated into user stories for implementation. This may happen before the sprint, during sprint planning, or during the sprint. While any team member can write stories and acceptance criteria, the PO maintains proper flow.


• Apply Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) - POs collaborate with their team to detail stories with acceptance criteria and examples in the form of acceptance tests.


• Accepting stories - The PO works with the team to agree on accepted story completion. This includes validating that the story meets acceptance criteria, that it has the appropriate, persistent acceptance tests, and that it otherwise complies with its Definition of Done (DoD). In so doing, the PO also assures a level of quality, focusing primarily on fitness for use.


• Understand enabler work - While POs are not expected to drive technological decisions, they are supposed to understand the scope of the upcoming enabler work and collaborate with Engineering to assist with decision-making and sequencing of the critical technological infrastructures that will host the new business functionality.


• Participate in team demo and retrospective - POs collaborate with their team and any other stakeholders in the team demo. They also participate in the Sprint Retrospective, where the teams gather to improve their processes.
