Product Owner Squad Transactions

According to Scrum methodology, the Agile Product Owner represents both stakeholders and the voice of the customers capturing their expectations, preferences and aversions. Along with the Scrum Master he/she leads and organises the Squad. The Agile Product Owner is in charge of expressing and prioritizing the needs of the product using a Product Backlog. For understanding the needs and prioritising the backlog based on value, the product owner is in regular contact with all stakeholders and is also explaining the prioritisation decisions to them. The Agile Product Owner has to ensure the Team's perfect understanding of the product and priorities and the whole consistency of each Sprint. The product owner motivates the squad, helps them to organise the work and facilitiates problem solving in the team.
