Cape Town, South Africa IntelliStaff Full time

**Area**: Century City Cape Town

**Responsibilities**:

- Within our organization, the Product Owner often fills the role of Business Analyst. Where they fill this role, they are responsible for collecting and documenting clear business and user requirements from either a Product Manager or customer and maintaining these in a single location. This single location may be within a technical requirements document or a page in Confluence or an export of the Jira backlog. This single "source of truth" should be maintained throughout the project, ensuring all stakeholders are aware of any changes.
- Translating these business requirements / issues into actionable user stories in the product Jira backlog and defining clear, correct acceptance criteria.
- Working closely with engineering and quality control (QC) teams to ensure the right customer problem is solved through the process.
- Working with the QC team to ensure all bugs are reported and those agreed are fixed and tested.
- Having an understanding of the future direction of the product (e.g. security, scalability and robustness) to ensure that they can answer technical questions from the team with respect to the best and necessary way to implement todays features.
- Ensuring that the Project Manager is aware of any possible deviations to the schedule, budget or scope from their engagement with the team.
- Prioritizing the sets of user stories that have been created to align with what will make sense to deliver first and what the customer will want to see first thereby ensuring that the
- Development team is clear on what to work on next. This should be done in consultation with the Product Manager and Project Manager.
- Working closely with the development team to plan sprints.
- Ensuring that the structure of the project and development plans facilitates customer testing and feedback cycles as early as possible in the cycle.
- Performing continuous Jira backlog grooming (has the sole responsibility for this).
- Attending all Agile meetings run by the team to ensure that the development work is aligned with the roadmap set by the Product Manager or the external customer.
- Participating in daily scrum / stand-up meetings, and Sprint Retrospectives (which are organized and run by the Scrum Master).
- Within the Sprint Planning meeting, they should have the groomed backlog ready and be able to answer questions about the backlog in order for the team to estimate effectively. They are responsible for finalizing the desired goal of the sprint based on the prioritized backlog and discussion with the team in this meeting. Note that this meeting is also organized and run by the Scrum Master.
- Within the Sprint Review/Demo meeting, although this can be facilitated by the Scrum Master, it is the Product Owner that is responsible for ensuring it happens, inviting the relevant attendees and driving the meeting and content.
- Being the final say on whether a user story can be set to "Done".
- Communicating the voice of the customer (relating to requirements) to the development team and ensuring there always is an up-to-date single reference point for the customers requirements where they fill the role of Business Analyst.
- Does not typically build a product roadmap that is discrete from the product roadmap set by the Product Manager. But they should work closely with the Product Manager to review the product roadmap and make sure priorities are aligned and that there are no technical limitations or points to consider before committing an item to the roadmap.
