Technical Owner Role

The technical owner role parallels that of the product owner, but with a focus on representing the platform architecture, technology, and tools utilized in building the product.

Their responsibilities are diverse and may encompass tasks ranging from devising the technical strategy, vision, and roadmap to collaborating with the team on crafting user stories and providing daily feedback on technical matters.

Working in tandem with the product owner and other stakeholders, they contribute to the development of the roadmap and ensure the refinement of the backlog to address both the technical requirements and customer needs comprehensively. Their role is pivotal in ensuring a well-balanced approach that incorporates both technical excellence and customer satisfaction.
