PURPOSE

The Associate Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the business value of Messaging tools and products.

The Associate Product Owner has a strong technical and operational understanding of Messaging products and, as this is primarily an ‘internal facing’ role, they work closely with their Product Managers to gain a clear understanding of the business problems customers need the product to solve, as well as the vision and strategic direction of the overall portfolio.

While working very closely with the Product Mangers, the Associate Product Owner works directly with selected ‘partner’ customers to gain feedback on existing (i.e. delivered), ‘in-flight’ and proposed product features. The APO uses this input plus their own experience to define what capabilities (i.e. value) the product should deliver and the relative priority of delivering these capabilities.

In order to deliver this value, the Associate Product Owner works hand‑in‑glove with their Scrum Team (or Scrum Teams in some cases) on a daily basis to scrub the Product Backlog, create Features and User Stories, define Acceptance Criteria, set priorities, attend team stand‑ups, accept the ‘Done’ stories from the team, demo the work done by the team to the wider community and generally be available to the team on a daily basis to answer their questions on the nature of the features being developed.

All requests for work to be performed by the Scrum Team are channeled through and prioritized by the Associate Product Owner.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manages the Product Backlog.
• Manage Product roadmaps.
• Populates the Product Backlog with artifacts that provide the next level of detail to support the delivery of the product road map as defined with the Product Manager.

• Know the costs of a delivery (project or release) in the details and in real‑time.
• Specifies Functional requirements, Non‑Functional Requirements & Acceptance Criteria.
• Identify potential backlog items from defects discovered during service outages.
• Defines PI or Release time‑boxes. Defines MVP for a release.
• Works with the Scrum Team to define Sprint goals. Attends Scrum team Daily Stand‑ups.
