Let’s be real: advanced product ownership skills are beyond the basic skills needed for this role.

Pushing Boundaries
In the context of a PSPO-A and advanced product ownership, the word ‘advanced’ isn’t just a prefix; it encapsulates an elevated realm of expertise.
Here are some of my thoughts on advanced product ownership:
- The advanced Product Owner understands the role’s traditional facets and goes above and beyond. It’s an assertion of an enriched understanding that’s much more profound.
- They’re boundary-pushers, pioneers who add multifaceted resources and insights to organisations. It’s a foray into newer territories, integrating aspects like marketing, contracts, sales, and finance.
- The territory they navigate encompasses various niches and myriad other value-driven domains.

This role brings more in-depth skillsets, such as:
- Traditional confines do not restrict them; they’re visionaries with an expansive purview. They juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, underpinned by their rich experiential knowledge.
- With an entrepreneur’s heart and an Agile stalwart’s mind, they anticipate, strategise, and ensure the product’s triumph. They operate with a holistic, top-down vision, ensuring product success.
- They bridge departments, infuse synergy, and catalyse transformative results, serving as the nexus between various departments, optimising synergy and driving results.
