Most companies still get Product Ownership wrong

TL;DR; Many companies misunderstand the Product Owner role, treating it as simple backlog management or assigning it to any business analyst, which leads to weak products and misaligned teams. Effective Product Owners are strategic leaders who own the vision, make tough decisions, and use evidence to guide development. Development managers should ensure they are hiring or empowering true Product Owners with the right skills and authority, not just filling a position.
