Product ownership in practice

The Product Owner role is defined by decision authority, not by ticket writing. That means owning the order of the backlog, the definition of done, and the trade-offs between technical constraints, user experience and commercial goals - and being able to explain the reasoning afterwards. These pieces are about the practical craft: triaging an inherited backlog, ranking in public, and making the order survive the next stakeholder push.
