!! [{$pagename}] [Scrum]
[{$pagename}] is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the Development Team. How this is done may vary widely across organizations, Scrum Teams, and individuals.

The Product Owner is the sole person [responsible] for managing the [Product Backlog]. Product Backlog management includes:
* Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;
* Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
* Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team performs;
* Ensuring that the [Product Backlog] is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the [Scrum Team] will work on next; and,
* Ensuring the [Development Team] understands items in the [Product Backlog] to the level needed.
The [{$pagename}] may do the above work, or have the [Development Team] do it. However, the [{$pagename}] remains [Accountable].

The [{$pagename}] is one person, not a committee. The [{$pagename}] may represent the desires of a committee in the [Product Backlog], but those wanting to change a [Product Backlog] item’s priority [MUST] address the [{$pagename}].

For the [{$pagename}] to succeed, the entire [organization|Organizational Entity] [MUST] respect his or her decisions. The [{$pagename}]'s decisions are visible in the content and ordering of the [Product Backlog]. No one can force the [Development Team] to work from a different set of requirements.
