The DevOps Product Owner has a systematic responsibility for the entire lifecycle of the product and has to ensure maximum value of the product is achieved. The DevOps Product Owner has to deal with a mixed set of requirements, ranging from new product features, as well as incidents on the current version. DevOps Product Owners engage with a large group of stakeholders, both within the team as well as beyond it.

This DASA Qualification extends traditional Agile Product Owner programs and deals with the extended set of requirements that the Product Owner faces when teams start to take on both Dev and Ops responsibilities.
