Product Owner
In plain terms
The person responsible for maximizing a product's value.
Going deeper
The Product Owner owns and prioritizes the backlog, representing stakeholders and deciding what the team builds next. They steer what gets done.
Under the hood
Single point of prioritization authority; balances stakeholder needs against capacity.
Examples
Backlog ownership, prioritization, stakeholder liaison, Scrum, roadmap.
Think of it like...
Like a head chef deciding which dishes to prepare based on what diners value most.
