The product owner is the person who is responsible for a software product on behalf of their company. The key to building a successful product is having a product owner who understands the product, the products users and their role in shaping the product for their users. In this blog I'll discuss how a influential a product owner is when building a piece of custom software.
After the completion of a sprint, there are two Agile activities that occur - the sprint review and the sprint retrospective. In this post we'll be covering why the sprint review and why it is so important.
At first glance, a sprint review could be viewed as a show and tell for the developers to show off what they completed in the previous sprint. But, if you dig a little deeper, you find that it is one of the most important meetings in the agile process. A sprint review drives the incremental development of the entire product.
Agile is a collaborative approach to building custom software. Not only is collaboration important to the development team (with approaches like swarming and paired programming), it is also critical across all groups involved in the development process.
