Product employees Dominik Winter, Tim Klein and Oliver Winter are being asked to provide inspiration for internal events. But while everyone is happy to accept such a mandate, the question arises where all the product owners from all companies in German-speaking countries actually are at the numerous conferences, meet-ups or online webinars. That’s why Tim Klein and Oliver Winter appeal to all product owners in the current podcast episode: get out of your building, get help and don’t be a lone warrior!

Personal experiences and tips and tricks
At the beginning of the episode, both share their personal observations from numerous conferences, but also the participation of Product Experts in current discussions, for example on platforms such as LinkedIn or X. Both come to the conclusion that more Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches take advantage of such opportunities than Product Owners, although theoretically their number should be the same.

What are some possible reasons that Product Owners often do not take advantage of such offers? Why do they seek little help from other Product Owners? Is your own workload too large, your energy too low, or is it the belief that the context in which other Product Owners work is too different for you to learn anything on your own?
In any case, this creates a number of challenges that Tim Klein and Oliver Winter discuss. And as with every podcast episode, the two also come up with a number of ideas if you want to change something in your situation. As always, the episode ends with some tips and tricks that can be implemented immediately.
The current version of the podcast is also available on the ProductWorker blog: “Don’t be a lone warrior: reach out and get help!,
