I'm in CSPO course right now, learning about Product Manager activities, like Vision, Roadmap, User Journey Maps. . . and not learning about all of the things I've done as a PO and see other POs do and struggle with. Conflating these two roles is not helpful. We spent quite a bit of time talking about vertical slices and how everything needed to deliver a working slice needs to be done at the end of the sprint, and the team contains ALL roles necessary to get that done. Not likely you can do market research, user research, UX - forget any iteration, build, and create all the end-user documentation at one time.
I agree. And I would like to point out that Agile 2 addresses these problems. https://agile2.net/
We definitely need to bring product back to the focus. And yes, Agile displaced product design (the Agile 2 book talks about that at length, and what we can do about it).
The product needs to be the focus, not "the team" (read "dev team").
I cannot agree more. I still see many posts of "agile coachs" that always assume that the fastest way to get feedback on a feature is to build it and share it in sprint demo, this is so wrong !
It's time for agile to acknowledge the role of UX designers !
