•  Usually one PO per team, not one PO per product
•  Provides intense sprint-level focus: stories, backlog,
prioritization, acceptance
•  Represents the customer’s interest in backlog
prioritization and requirements questions... available
to the team at any time
•  Balances interests of competing stakeholders
•  Feeds the hungry agile beast

Agile/Scrum: Product Owner Focus
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 8
product owner focus
•  Drives delivery and market acceptance of whole
products
•  Targets market segments, not individual customers
•  “What does this segment need/what will it pay for?”
•  Technical features, acceptance and adoption
•  Resolves inevitable competing priorities
•  Motivates/aligns functional groups
beyond development (marketing, sales,
support, partners, finance…)
What Does a Product Manager Do?
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 9
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 10
•  By definition, commercial software has many customers
•  Profitability is completely about scale
•  2nd copy of identical software costs $0 to build
•  Customers rarely compute value/ROI for us
•  We propose value to prospects during sales process
•  “If you use our ergonomic standing desks, your staff will be 15% healthier
and 10% more productive”
•  We segment markets for similar customers
•  Exclude those who want very different solutions
•  Exclude those who don’t accept our proposed value
Product Managers Define Value for
Specific Target Segments

What Does a Product Manager Do?
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 12
•  ACTIVITY and OUTPUT (what people see)
•  Write epics/stories, meet customers, cajole, pitch prospects, call
meetings, accept epics/stories, praise teams, distract Sales, present
roadmaps, catch arrows
•  OUTCOME (where we earn our salaries):
•  Make technical/market trade-offs for revenue and adoption
•  Deflect interruptions
•  Turn away poor deals, customers and partners
•  Think about this quarter and next year; revenue and architecture
What Does a Product Manager Do?
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 13
•  Logic and facts are not sufficient
•  Engineering demand >> supply
•  Sales teams paid to
close individual deals
•  HIPPO
•  Responsibility
without authority
•  Where strategy meets
implementation
Product Management:
Inherently Political
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 14
•  Business value error bars > engineering error bars
•  Blending of
•  Promises of future revenue
•  Promises of future operational savings
•  Promises of future development efficiencies (tech debt)
•  Quality forced onto a linear scale
•  Simplistic models of buyer behavior
•  Gaming, logrolling
Allocating our scarcest, most valuable resource
Someone (some team) must force-rank programs
Business Value: Slightly Estimatable
15w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m
Hypothesis:
•  Epic/project business value estimates are +/- 70%
•  1 in 10 will deliver zero value
How would that change your portfolio planning?
Your interactions with stakeholders?
Discussion/Exercise (5 Minutes)
16w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m
There’s nothing more wasteful
than brilliantly engineering a
product that doesn’t sell,
or a project that
doesn’t matter.
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 17
•  Pulls into product station every day
•  From customers, sales, support, execs, engineers, analysts…
•  Delivers hundreds of “good ideas” each day
•  Few are new or earthshaking
Good Idea Train
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 18
•  Emotional needs vs. commitment
•  Japanese “hai” is alternative to “NO”
•  "Thank you! That's a really interesting
idea. Let me put it into the idea backlog.
And let’s talk more about the root cause
of the problem you have.”
•  NEVER agree without Dev sizing

Not what we intended, but…
•  Most product management
teams are already understaffed
•  Product ownership adds
40-60% more critical work
•  Urgency of stories, backlog grooming,
sprint planning, standups, acceptance
•  One person can “do it all” for a single agile team
•  But typical Dev:PDM ratio is 25:1, not 10:1
Product Managers: Oversubscribed,
Overcommitted, Burning Out
w w w . M I R O N O V . c o m 22
Not what we intended, but…
•  Selection (hiring) focuses on SME/BA, technical
skills, story writing
•  Little appreciation for market-side experience
•  Engineering’s belief in rational/technical customers
•  Requirements are out there to be “gathered”
•  No recognition of organizational blocking skills
•  Short-term assignments or career path?
Product Owners: Typically Under-Spec’d,
Underpaid, Lacking Clout

Product Manager Failure Modes
Product Manager fails agile team(s) when…
•  Part-timer, not engaged with team(s)
•  Lack of detail on stories/handwaving
•  Stale backlog
•  Best of intentions, but pulled in
too many directions
Product Owner Failure Modes
Product Owner fails “the business” when…
•  Weak on market realities: whole
product, competitive dynamics, value
error bars, benefits, pricing models
•  Unable to hold back interrupt stream
•  Confuses showcase customers with broad market
Commercial Product Failures
