Managing the product backlog, which includes all the tasks necessary to complete the project, is another major part of the job.

Product Owner job description FAQs

Who reports to a Product Owner?

Product Owners typically oversee the entire product development process, so many employees may report to them. Team members on the scrum and product development teams usually report to the Product Owner for any instructions on features to include, updates on client preferences or changes requested by stakeholders. The Product Owner may also provide these teams with advice and guidance on how to improve the product development process.

Who does a Product Owner report to?

Product Owners typically serve in a leadership role, so they may report to executive team members. Larger companies may require Product Owners to work directly under the Vice President of Product Development, who works on more high-level tasks like pricing strategies and product placement. They ensure the Product Owner is effectively leading the product development and Scrum teams in launching successful products. Product Owners usually report directly to stakeholders to present their ideas and final products. They relay the stakeholders’ feedback and required updates to the product development and Scrum teams.

Both roles ensure successful product delivery, but they do so in different ways. A Product Owner oversees the entire product development process to ensure the final product meets certain requirements and preferences. They also develop ideas for product features to include. This role usually exists within the Scrum framework and deals with many of the day-to-day tasks of developing a product from start to finish, making it a more tactical role. The Product Manager can exist in all types of companies, not just agile organizations, and takes on a more strategic role. They help create the overall vision and guide the direction of a product.
