Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

@3hd...

Hulk sad?

He even have keep asking silly question all the time. He expectation from a product owner I know. He say know on user stories no stories at times? WF Auto yes not knowing bad agile.

Asks silly questions about systems that went obsolete during the clintan administration? I can see how that would be frustrating.

Same. My po has been here for almost a year and has no idea what we do all day. I don't think he even used the application before.

Wait. You mean to tell me that auto has a "product"? And this person "owns" it?

there is no diversity here! Not even by minority managers! Managers have no support for this

Come on.... This is Wells we are talking abt here...

There isn't anyone half competent here.

If there were any, they wld have been fired long ago ...

"He"? Better retake that Diversity Training!

Well a good PO is measured over time by the representation they bring for both IT and the business to any decision making or ideation. This is true as you inferred, yes. Ultimately though, it is their ability to learn and adapt on the fly and apply common skills to their discipline around seeing the big picture, integration issues, placing themselves in the shoes of the customer as usability becomes a deliverable during a sprint, and ultimately the ability to talk with sponsors and executives.

These things are the rarities they bring or should bring to any project. I have been parachuted into projects when they were half done and been forced to have these potentially embarrassing meetings where you have to admit to a business sme you dont understand a key deliverable.

I would only wirry if they stop asking questions and are messing up. Its extremely difficult to do well. Especially in a hybrid PM methodology like WF has.
