Product ownership: responsibilities and practical exercise
Cut out the needs and decide on their order with verifiable criteria.
These sheets describe activities and teaching exercises. They do not constitute job offers, certifying courses or recruitment promises.
All job descriptionsAn exercise to practice
Prioritize a catalog evolution between search, filters and comparison.
Work on a copy or demo environment. Define the data used and the expected result before you begin. Keep your decisions and the difficulties encountered in order to be able to explain the process.
- Describe the problem and the expected value of each request.
- Cut into usable and testable elements.
- Explain the acceptance criteria with the team.
- Revise the order after return of use and explain the arbitrations.
Deliverable and verifications
An understandable backlog, acceptance criteria and reasoned decisions.
An element can be discussed, constructed and accepted without contradictory interpretations.
For each check, note the context, the action, the expected result and what has been observed. Distinguish a successful verification from a remaining hypothesis. Another person must be able to understand the deliverable without attending all its manufacture.
Use the Functional Validation BookPoints of vigilance and teamwork
A feature list is not a product policy. Priorities should be related to explicit needs and constraints.
Collaboration to explore: product design.
Specify the sharing of responsibilities: who provides the information, who decides, who checks and maintains the result. A good handover retains the constraints and decisions, not just the final file.
Employment, trades and trainingFrequently asked questions
Does this exercise prove a professional qualification?
It allows you to show an approach and its limits. It is neither a diploma, nor a certification, nor proof of a production experience.
How to present the work in a portfolio?
Specify that this is an exercise, your role, constraints, decisions and checks. Use test data and media whose rights are established.
How to assess the quality of the deliverable?
An element can be discussed, constructed and accepted without contradictory interpretations. Add the difficulties encountered and what remains to be verified rather than presenting absolute validation.
