PM vs PO - Who Does What?
summary
Compares roles by scope: product manager owns voice of the customer, whole‑product strategy, pricing and business model; product owner owns the day‑to‑day: the product backlog, grooming, sprint value and velocity. Recommends concrete tools — positioning statements, customer interviews, pretotype/MVP experiments — and practices like co‑locating a PO with remote teams. Surprising datapoint: first sale can cost $1.10 to make $1.00. Co‑location and pretotype testing repeatedly improve outcomes.
