I see the rationale behind that, as it allows for delegation of specific tasks to different individuals to ensure everything gets done efficiently.

I think that could also work, especially if there are specialized skills needed for each aspect of the product.

Definitely. As long as the team is aligned and communication is clear, I think any of those options could work. We just gotta find what works best for our specific product and team.

I'm leaning towards option D - 'All of the above'. It seems like a combination of those strategies could really help distribute the workload and keep things running smoothly.

Haha, I'm just picturing a 'Chief Product Owner' with a giant cape and crown, bossing everyone around. But in all seriousness, I think that could be an effective approach.

Yeah, that could work. And having a 'Chief Product Owner' to oversee the integrated product sounds like a smart idea too. Gotta keep that big picture in mind.

I agree, Rickie. But I do think splitting the Product Owner role into 'Business' and 'Technical' might be a good strategy. That way we can focus on the different aspects of the job.

Hmm, this is a tricky question. As a Product Owner, I'm always juggling a ton of tasks and responsibilities. I don't think I'd be comfortable delegating things like detailing the Product Backlog or interviewing users to the Developers - that's core to my role.
