To put it bluntly, it's not possible for one person to act as a product owner to execute on the product that will align with your company strategy. There's simply too much involved with product management to be able to have one person handle this. For the purpose of handling this type of thing we leverage the techniques from Jeff Patton about Agile product design/development. The product team consists of the product owner, architect and stakeholders with the PO having the final authority. Great ideas in your article particularly using light-weight Scrum to drive handling the backlog. Reposted from Scrum Practitioners Linkedin Group:
