== Introduction ==

Product Ownership is very much linked with how we define a [[Product]]. In simple organisations, this might be an easy exercise, but in complex organisations that have what we’ll call “[[Composite Value Stream]]s", [[Product]]s are the result of complex interconnections of parts of one or more organisations: sequences, synergies, … of different pieces.

We can consider a [[Value Stream]] as the journey from an idea to realised customer value. A smaller Value Stream may be served by a single Product Owner. As the [[Value Stream]] increases in scale (both in size and in complexity) we reach a point at which a single Product Owner is insufficient.

However, while it might become necessary to increase the number of Product Owners working on a certain composite value stream, it is good practice to keep the decision makers to a minimum. Aim to create a product organisation with the least amount of Product Owners in order to maximise the “Scope of Accountability” of each Product Owner and allow for decisions that have a more holistic impact on the value-chain.

This is also compatible with the idea of delegation: the more Product Owners are involved in a single large development, the more coordination among them is needed, which results in slower, more costly decision making and reduced adaptability.

== Products vs. Product Ownership ==

What is a [[Product]]? Especially when considering complex [[Composite Value Stream]]s? Here is a discussion on [[The Product Perspective]] of scaling.

== Related Principles ==

* [[The Product Owner is accountable for sustained end value]]
* [[Minimum Viable Product Owners]]
* [[Limit Product Owner Mental Workload]]
*[[Each team "sees" exactly one Product Owner]]
* [[Outcome is the primary measure of success]]
* [[Collective accountability in case of Product Ownership Group]]

== Related Practices ==
*[[One Product Owner may have multiple Teams]]
