These are: The original Scrum product owner who owns a product in its entirety and is responsible for maximising the value it creates.

A topic that’s come up several times recently in my product leader coaching sessions: how much to delegate to the (individual contributor) product managers on our teams – including different ways of building product skills and balancing personal empowerment against good results.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

As companies start implementing more innovative practices, they are realizing the faults of using an imperfect environment like staging. Staging environments are expensive, they do not match the behavior of production, leading to faulty test results, and they don’t provide any confidence that your features are working before launch. The only way to know that your features are working in production is to test them in production.
