    How does the role of a Product Owner relate to the role of a Software Product Manager?
    (1st International Conference on Software Product Management 2023, 2023) Toikkanen, Timo; Hyrynsalmi, Sami; Paasivaara, Maria
    In the Scrum Guide, the Product Owner (PO) is defined as being accountable for maximizing the value of the product they are responsible for. Thus, a Product Owner shares many responsibilities with a Software Product Manager (SPM), who is defined as a role governing the creation of the highest possible value to the business from the product. Despite the vast popularity of Scrum and other software development methods based on it, the role of a Product Owner has not received much academic research yet. This study contributes to the literature by assessing the similarities and differences between Product Owners and Software Product Managers using exploratory semi-structured interviews with 16 Agile software professionals. The study shows that the concept of product value is not always evident to Product Owners responsible for maximizing it. In addition, we identify five Product Owner Scenarios. Depending on the Product Owner Scenario, Product Owners’ responsibilities overlap to a varying degree with Software Product Manager’s responsibilities defined in the ISPMA SPM framework. Overall, further work is required to clarify the role and responsibilities of a Product Owner in various types of real-life organisations.

    Product Ops: Understanding and Defining an Emerging Discipline
    (1st International Conference on Software Product Management 2023, 2023) Moroz, Bogdan; Saltan, Andrey; Hyrynsalmi, Sami
    Product Operations (Product Ops) is a concept gaining momentum among product management practitioners in the software domain. Practitioners share success stories and describe various benefits of implementing Product Ops in software organizations. However, there is a lack of consensus on a definition and areas of responsibility of the role, which may lead to inconsistencies and flaws in its implementation. An abundance of practitioner publications on the subject with varying descriptions of the discipline calls for standardization and the development of a systematic approach to discussing Product Ops. Moreover, only a handful of academic publications have briefly touched upon this concept. In response to this research gap, the paper reports the results of a grey literature review and proposes a definition of the Product Ops concept emerging in the software product management practitioner literature. The tasks and responsibilities of the function are described, alongside the expected positive outcomes of implementing the Product Ops. The risks of flawed implementations are also acknowledged. Furthermore, the paper outlines potential avenues for future research in this domain.
