Tips for Analysts fulfilling the role of Product Owner

If you're an Analyst and you're fulfilling the role of Product Owner on an agile team, focus on:
  • 'The What' - what does the business need.
  • 'The Why' - why is it valuable to the business and how much value does it have.
  • 'The When' - prioritise it by the value to the business.
Leave 'The How' to the team.

I would generalise to just deferring decisions to expertise and experience but I would be wary of a Product Owner that did not want to increase his/her knowledge of how.

At least, the Product Owner should have a very close interaction with the technical leader(s).
