Design Owner Role
Although not outlined in traditional agile frameworks as a defined role, many organizations and teams recognize the value of having a Design Owner alongside Product Owner.
The Design Owner plays a crucial role in representing the design and user experience aspects of the product. This includes overseeing the team's design standards, roadmap and promoting the adoption of design thinking principles.
Working in collaboration with the Product Owner, they actively contribute to the development and articulation of the product vision, ensuring that design considerations are integrated throughout the product's development journey.
