Have you noticed there are many different interpretations of Product Ownership? The Product Owner is probably the most misunderstood of the three Scrum accountabilities. Based on experiences of our Chief Org Whisperer, Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP), we’d like to share a series of weekly posts highlighting the 14 Stances of Highly Effective Product Owners. Stance #1 Chief Inspiration Officer: Scrum teams work best when they are passionate and inspired. Unfortunately, Developers sometimes feel disconnected from the impact of the work they are doing. They are unable to see the consequences the increment is having on the lives of their users, which can create disengaged or demotivated order-takers who may be doing what they are told—no more, no less. An effective Product Owner must be able to inspire Developers towards a greater purpose that aligns with their personal purpose. They must be truly inspired by their product and radiate a contagious passion and energy every waking moment! Do your teams feel inspired by the work they are doing? #14Stances #OrgWhisperers #ProductOwner

In this video, PSTs Todd Miller and Ryan Ripley explore Ken Schwaber's 2006 white paper, which discusses why Scrum is hard and disruptive. They use cross-functional, self-managing teams to emphasize Scrum's foundation in iterative and incremental development. Lean thinking and empirical process control are core principles, ensuring continuous improvement through frequent inspection and adaptation. The hosts draw parallels to real-life scenarios, like youth football coaching, to illustrate the effectiveness of self-managing teams. #scrum #agile
