Why do Senior Product Owners focus on the Problem Space?
In the last article, we explored the different maturity levels of the Product Owner role. I made a point that maturity is defined by experience gained, skills built, and focus and time spent. In this article, we will now look at the difference between a Senior Product Owner on the one hand and a Proxy or Scribe Product Owner on the other. We will clarify why Senior Product Owners can and do focus more on the Problem Space.
“You can do a job for 30 years, and don’t learn something. Then you can do a job for 10 years, learn lots of different tools, and skills, and have multiple new challenges to overcome. That is when you grow in your role and get mature.”
