Important Points
• What is an authority of a Product Owner?
• To make right decision. What should we do right now to increase the value of a product toward achieving the
product goal.
• What is an increment?
• Any business value that either increase the revenue or decrease the operational cost
• Work cannot be considered part of an Increment unless it meets the Definition of Done.
• SCRUM Guide - Increment
• An Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal. Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments
and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together. In order to provide value, the Increment must be
usable.
• Multiple Increments may be created within a Sprint. The sum of the Increments is presented at the Sprint Review thus
supporting empiricism. However, an Increment may be delivered to stakeholders prior to the end of the Sprint. The
Sprint Review should never be considered a gate to releasing value.

SCRUM Guide
The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. How this is done may vary widely
across organizations, Scrum Teams, and individuals.

The Product Owner is also accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes:
1. Developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal;
2. Creating and clearly communicating Product Backlog items;
1. Backlog grooming of next sprint with scrum team in the current sprint
3. Ordering Product Backlog items; and,
4. Ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood.

The Product Owner may do the above work or may delegate the responsibility to others. Regardless, the Product Owner remains accountable.

For Product Owners to succeed, the entire organization must respect their decisions. These decisions are visible in the content and ordering of the Product
Backlog, and through the inspectable Increment at the Sprint Review.

The Product Owner is one person, not a committee. The Product Owner may represent the needs of many stakeholders in the Product Backlog. Those
wanting to change the Product Backlog can do so by trying to convince the Product Owner.

PO should not be only accountable for the delivery, it’s the whole team who is responsible
