Product owners are obsolete!

TL;DR; The episode discusses whether strong product owners make product managers unnecessary, featuring expert Ralph Jocham to clarify the distinct roles and responsibilities of each. Key insights include that product ownership and product management are not interchangeable and both bring unique value to software teams. Development managers should ensure both roles are clearly defined and aligned to maximize product success.

In this month’s episode of Agile Actually, we picked up some whispers on the #agile winds about #productmanagement being obsolete. The idea that if you have a strong #productowner in #scrum , there is no need for a #productmanager at all.

To explore this concept, we invited Ralph Jocham - a #productmanager and #productowner expert - to talk about the differences between product ownership and product management and whether these whispers held any truth.
