Whether with the framework by Roman Picture or Positioning statement by Jeffri Moore – It is important that the product vision is clear and lively.
The subject of road mapping is visually connected to the product. Classic, feature-powered road maps have long been old. Instead, experienced product owners rely on the result-oriented roadmap, for example as a-letter roadmap. It is not about complying with rigid schedule, but is focusing on the desired effects.
Story mapping is also unavoidable for a wise scheme. This method helps to keep an overall view of the product, prioritize the features and control the team in the right direction. With the user story mapping, Jeff Patton has developed a practice that reinforces the effect and strengthens an understanding of priority.
Another valuable tool in a product owner’s toolbox is the opportunity solution tree (east), known by the constant search habits of Teresa Torres.

But the user’s stories are good as their acceptance criteria and the ability to cut them wisely. Therefore, it is important not only to mastered writing, but also to mastered the partition of user stories.
Another area that is often underestimated is stakeholder management. Without a targeted strategy, a large number of stakeholders can quickly become a challenge. Power interest grid helps determine the correct preferences and to integrate stakeholders effectively.
