Product Ownership Group
Where possible, even at scale there should be a single Product Owner being accountable for a product development and for achieving sustained end value.
However, the experience of the agile community shows that there is a limit in the amount of Teams a single Product Owner can serve. Beyond that limit, there is the need of having a group of people sharing the role as a Product Ownership Group. There are several possible configurations for such a group, however there are two important key success factors:
- they share a collective accountability
- the number of people in this group should be kept to a minimum.
