    The Product Ownership Skills You Will BuildReady to Apply on Your Scrum Team

    Engage Stakeholders and Maximize Value

    Identify stakeholders, gather feedback through Sprint Reviews and customer discovery, and use evidence to balance competing priorities and define the value the product delivers.

    Plan Releases and Forecast Delivery

    Plan incremental releases, apply MVP and minimal marketable feature thinking, use velocity to forecast, and communicate scope and timelines clearly to stakeholders.
