Overview:

As a Product Owner, you will collaborate on initiatives/roadmap items from the product

Why is this role important for Tenerity's work?

As product owners, we add value by prioritizing the right work, at the right times, and making sure

everyone on the team is aligned on the reasoning behind that work—to help ensure the continuous

delivery of value to our clients and customers.

To be useful in translating their company's strategic plan into the right execution steps, product

owners must understand their customer needs, current capabilities and determine tangible steps

to develop the product to meet the needs. This often involves working with product managers to

learn about what problems they are aiming to solve with the product, what customer needs or

desires have informed their product strategy, and what the team will view as product success.

The Product Owners role supports the Product Manager in delivering the product roadmap in line

with the organization's vision and goals. Often the Product Owner is considered the vital bridge

between the organization's product vision and execution strategy.
