Agile Product Owner

McKesson is the central nervous system of health care. At any given moment, in any given minute, we simultaneously execute thousands of critical operations that improve the businesses of our customers and the lives of their patients.

The Agile PO leads the efforts of his/her teams based upon the strategic relevance and value defined for the customer. The Agile PO is responsible for tactical discipline by ensuring features are well defined, User stories are sized, and prioritized so they may be consumed by their teams. This prioritization must be established based upon the overall strategy of the business and the value for the customer. The Product Owner is the final authority on acceptance of delivered functionality against user stories and makes the final decision regarding the completeness of delivered software. Agile POs must have excellent communication skills with the ability to provide insights and leadership at many levels within the organization, both upward to executive level leaders and downward within their teams.
