The Agile Product Operating Model (APOM) is a natural progression for your agile transformation. It provides an ‘in-between’ stage between the whole enterprise change and delivery team change with the idea of products. By aligning to products, you can incrementally change the organization, allowing each product group to adopt a different operating model. Of course, that comes with some challenges, including how products are funded, comfort in parts of the organization operating differently, and where authority and decision-making reside.

In my experience, if you have correctly defined the product (or product family), the Product Owner inevitably becomes someone at the Board−1 or Board−2 level (in the worst case). But now that you have a real Product Owner on board, a new problem arises: this person is incredibly busy. How can you relieve their workload? Through delegation.

A common question for newcomers to Scrum: Can the Tasks of the Sprint Backlog Be Modified Mid-Sprint?

Product Managers and Product Owners frequently have to balance market needs, user experience, customer outcomes, and technical feasibility. However, the financial point of view in product development is equally important but often gets overlooked.
