Iurii Chernich

Sr. Product Manager

My primary function is to ensure the company’s products meet the needs of stakeholders

Strategic planning

Data-driven decisions

Design thinking

Product Roadmap

Why you need Product Manager

Because Product Manager leads the agile development team and manages the product

Quality Services

The product owner has to critically analyze problems and identify possible solutions quickly. Backlog management, for instance, requires analytical skills because the PO must prioritize items in the backlog. Identifying which items to prioritize based on their relevance, importance, and linkage with other items in the backlog is a task that can’t be done without analytical skills.

Project On Time

The product owner plays a vital role in technology, software, and product development.

Responsibility

As a product, I also bear informal - moral responsibility for my decisions, i.e. the need to follow the norms of human relations, the mechanism for the implementation of which is the corporate culture.

Creativity

Non-standard approaches to solving problems when working with a group of software developers and protecting the interests of the customer.
Continuous professional self-improvement and team training

What do product owners do?

For any given product development project, product owners are the predominant stakeholders

Vital role

Product owners develop and meanwhile set the program priorities, supervise and maintain the product backlog.

User stories

The product owner congregates user stories - interpretation/narrative of the software from the customer’s perspective.

Communication

He understands the requirements from the clients/customers and communicates the same to the development team.

Strategy

They are the managers of strategy, tactical execution and vision connected with product development.

My book

If you look at the modern world, it is safe to say that it has been captured by the technological revolution. There is a continuous introduction of innovations in it, and in these conditions the questions arise:
1. Is the Agile Manifesto still as relevant as it was twenty years ago?
2. Should it still be followed in the form in which it was created?
3. Isn't it time to optimize the Manifesto and bring it in line with the requirements of the time?
In order to answer these questions, I summarized my own experience, and the experience of others in managing IT projects, on the basis of which I consider in my book the pros and cons of agile framework.
Agile appeared primarily because of the need to find common ground between agile methodologies, in particular Extreme Programming, Scrum, DSDM, FDD, BDD, Crystal Clear and other platforms.
If we compare Agile with classical Project Management (PM), when the project is strictly regulated by pre-established requirements (contracts), then the flexible project management method implies not only responsiveness, but also flexible adaptation to external and internal changes. This is achieved primarily through iterative product development and effective interpersonal communication.
