In his spare time, Paul enjoys the outdoors and traveling when possible. He likes finding a quiet place to fly his drone, even if he isn't the best at it (no crashes yet!).

{ PROCESS }

There are a lot of opinions regarding Product Owners and what their responsibilities should entail. With the evolution of self-governing, cross-functional development teams, the role of a Business Analyst has dramatically changed, if not become extinct. The Product Owner from experience has shown to be an empowered Business Analyst with content and prioritization authority.
