PRODUCT OWNER ROLE IN SAFE

Tuesday, January 21, 2020 -
5:30pm to 7:00pm

Executing as a Product Owner in SAFE environment

Revolving around teamwork and collaboration, project work has had many faces and roles defined throughout the years. As companies select new organizational models or look to revamp existing roles, role definition and interactions between individuals can become ambiguous and troublesome. Agile development methodologies leverage Product Owners for responsibilities traditionally given to Business Analysts, leaving room for uncertainty.

Questions that arise when the Business Analyst & Product Owner roles are compared:

• Can all Business Analysts be replaced by Product Owners?

• Is there any value in having a PO & BA work together?

• How can a BA best transition themselves into a PO role?

• How do I know which role my company/project needs?

The IIBA West Michigan chapter cordially invites you to join us for an hour-long session discussing these questions, and more, where guest speaker Andrea Glerum will introduce the Product Owner role, its relationship with the Business Analyst role, and the organizational markers that can affect the way these roles are treated in practice.
