Overview. The term product owner is commonly used to refer to six different product roles in my experience. These are: The original Scrum product owner who owns a product in its entirety and is responsible for maximising the value it creates. A feature owner who manages a major capability with which end users interact like search and navigation on an online retailer’s website.

Up until now, Product Leaders have had to rely on the approaches and frameworks designed specifically for Product Managers or use generic leadership practices which don’t necessarily cover the unique leadership challenges Product Leaders experience. We have developed a new leadership model – the Product Adaptive Leadership Model (PALM) that offers a path for Product Leaders to examine their current practices, apply new ways of solving problems, and improve their Product Leadership performance.

Getting product managers inside the mind of a professional inventor. Do you have a good idea for a product? As an Everyday Innovator, I’d say the chances are pretty good.
