As described in the Scrum Guide, a Product Owner is accountable for maximising the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. How this is done may vary widely across organisations, Scrum Teams and individuals. As a member of the Scrum Team, the Product Owner provides clarity to the team about a product’s vision and goal. All work is derived and prioritised based on the Product Goal in order to deliver value to all stakeholders including those within their organisation and all users both inside and out. Product Owners identify, measure and maximise value throughout the entire product's lifecycle
