One integral responsibility of the Product Owner is to convey the importance and significance of the Scrum Project to the Scrum Team. This is the key to the success of any Agile Project through the use of Product Backlog.

Now let us look at some of the major responsibilities of a Product Owner:

• Creation and Maintenance of the Product Backlog: The Scrum framework is mostly used in the software environment and new product development field. This is an ongoing job and full-time responsibility of the Product Owner. He has to constantly keep refining it, especially before any sprint planning meetings.
• Prioritizing of Backlog according to the Business ROI: The product Owner also needs to prioritize and sequence the backlog according to the needs of the business and situations.
• He also elaborates the epics, themes, and features into user stories that are feasible enough to be achieved in a single sprint.
• The Product Owner does the job of continuously reminding the Team of the Sprint & Release and ensures that the team remains on track in realizing their goals.
• The Product Owner does the job of continuously engaging the customer and business stakeholders to ensure that the Team is building the right product and delivering the business value expected of it. Also at the end of every Sprint, the Product Owner has the opportunity to steer the team in the direction which will create value for the business stakeholders.
• The Product Owner also keeps inspecting the work done by the Scrum Team at the end of every Sprint and has the absolute authority to accept or reject their work or to suggest modifications.
• The product owner also acts as the voice of the Team to the outside world and should ensure that all the channels of communication remain open and the project gets the right kind and type of support needed to succeed.
• Has the authority to terminate a Sprint if the Product Owner feels that there is a drastic change in direction needed and the Sprint is no longer needed. It may happen in cases where the competitor releases a new product and the client wants a counter-response.

The responsibilities of a Product Owner are onerous and there are a lot of hats that have to be worn by him hence choice of a Product Owner must be made wisely as it could lead to success or failure for the entire project which ultimately affects the success or failure of the company.
