Presentation
We all know that User Experience matters and it is much wider subject then only User Interface design. UX Designers have great impact on products and services. Their focus on fullfilling users needs through design helps in achieving goals of the business. But the role of UX Designer sometimes overlaps the role of Product Owner. Whether it must lead to argument, or perhaps this may be the chance to build a better solution?
During the presentation I would like to share with you some insights from my cooperation with different Product Owners. For last 6 years I have learned that successful cooperation which leads to great products is always built on strong fundation of mutual understanding of roles, responsibilities and mutual respect.
