A Product Owner is a pivotal figure in Agile and Scrum methodologies, responsible for defining a clear product vision and maximizing the value delivered by the development team. They own and manage the product backlog, meticulously prioritizing features, user stories, and tasks to align with strategic business goals and user needs.
