From the control-minded PO to the PO that wanted to learn and co-create with the team. This week’s PO patterns enlighten the need for focusing on the relationship building between the PO and the team, and the PO and the Scrum Master.
Great PO’s come in many shapes and forms, in this episode, we talk about the great PO that wanted to run experiments, to learn what worked in practice. We also talk about the importance of the relationship between Scrum Master and PO, and how that partnership can drive the success of the PO and the team.
There are many reasons why the PO’s may not be able to perform as needed in a Scrum environment. However, the toughest reasons or root causes for that lack of performance are often tied to the PO’s own personality. In this segment, we talk about the reasons why some PO’s can’t give up control, and how that search for control directly affects the team’s ability to perform.
