the product owner oath

the product owner oath

Before the sprint, I was there, sifting the sands of the backlog

Before planning began I built the foundations of priority

Before the team had direction I held the compass

I am the flag bearer

I am the caster of vision

I am the guide

I am the sundial and the north star

I am the voice of the stakeholders

I am fixated on business value

The product goal is my gift

My quiver is packed with questions and clarity

My bow is ever true

I cultivate the product backlog with vigor & savvy

I forge relational bridges

I empower, trust, and maximize

I am approachable, relatable, and decisive

I am the translator

I am the amplifier of feedback

I am the single wringable neck

I (your name here) pledge to uphold the Scrum Guide

To live by the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness, and respect

To build on the pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation

I put the melody in your lyrics

I am an oath taker

I am a Product Owner
