In this talk, I’ll share what I’ve learned about quality, release times and quick feedback from being a product owner. For the last 7 years, I’ve been PO for an open source product. In that time, we’ve moved from painful and non-agile 6-week test phases to sprint (beta) releases every three weeks, with the option of an official release when I want one – with release times of one day. This is a story about techniques, transparency, testing and trust, with the extra spice of dealing with the quality wishes of different stakeholder groups.
Target Audience: Product Owners, Testers, Developers in Agile Teams
Prerequisites: Basics of agile and scrum
Level: Practicing
Extended Abstract
In this talk, I want to share what I’ve learned about quality, release times and quick customer feedback from being a product owner.

In that time, we’ve moved from painful and non-agile 6-week test phases to sprint (beta) releases every three weeks, with the option of an official release when I want one – with release times of one day. This is a story about techniques, transparency, testing and trust, with the extra spice of dealing with the quality wishes of different stakeholder groups.
During the talk, I’ll cover:
Join me on this journey to hear what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what steps can be taken to move towards more frequent releases for a happy PO and customers!
