Query: On the Tasks and Characteristics of Product Owners: A Case Study in the
  Oil & Gas Industry   Product owners in the Scrum framework - respectively the on-site customer
when applying eXtreme Programming - have an important role in the development
process. They are responsible for the requirements and backlog deciding about
the next steps within the development process. However, many companies face the
difficulty of defining the tasks and the responsibilities of a product owner on
their way towards an agile work environment. While literature addresses the
tailoring of the product owner's role in general, research does not
particularly consider the specifics of this role in the context of a systems
development as we find for example in the oil and gas industry. Consequently,
the question arises whether there are any differences between these two areas.
In order to answer this question, we investigated on the current state of
characteristics and tasks of product owners at Baker Hughes, a GE company
(BHGE). In this position paper, we present initial results based on an online
survey with answers of ten active product owners within the technical software
department of BHGE. The results indicate that current product owners at BHGE
primarily act as a nexus between all ends. While technical tasks are performed
scarcely, communication skills seem even more important for product owners in a
system development organization. However, to obtain more reliable results
additional research in this area is required.
