Area Product Owner in LeSS

In LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), the concept of the Area Product Owner (APO) is introduced to address the challenge of scaling Scrum to multiple teams working on a single product.

Responsibilities of an Area Product Owner:

  1. Overall Product Vision: The APO is responsible for understanding and communicating the overall product vision to the teams within their area.
  2. Backlog Prioritization: They prioritize the backlog items within their area, ensuring alignment with the product vision.
  3. Collaboration: The APO collaborates closely with the Product Owner (PO) to ensure alignment of priorities and strategies across areas.
  4. Feedback Loop: They establish and maintain a feedback loop with stakeholders to gather input and refine the product backlog.
