Job Description Qualifications:

Software Product Owner (Hybrid)

Tapestry Solutions, A Boeing Company, comes with over 30 years of industry experience designing, implementing, training, and supporting logistics information systems. A career with the Tapestry Solutions team brings the best of both worlds:  access to the incredible depth of resources and opportunities of Boeing while working in a company having a small business, family-oriented culture.

We have over 500 employees worldwide supporting our customers with high-quality, innovative, and cost-effective information technology and business intelligence solutions. Tapestry Solutions supports 85 defense, commercial and government customers from over 50 US locations and nine countries.

Tapestry Solutions, a part of Boeing Global Services BGS, is seeking a Software Product Owner in San Diego, CA.  In this role you will help lead the software development process and be a part of a self-sufficient Scrum Team. The Software Product Owner (PO) acts as a servant leader, interacting with Product Management and Architecture to understand requirements, then work with the team to elaborate, prioritize and decompose into technical features and stories to be executed by the team. The PO acts as a liaison between the team to the customer and product stakeholders, and is the daily voice to the team facilitating planning, scoping and buy-off exercises allowing the Scrum Team to focus on writing code rather than the writing/clarification of requirements, or pursuing acceptance of features. This role enables the Scrum Team to avoid task switching, ultimately allowing more dedicated capacity for software to be developed and released to market.

The Software Product Owner has daily interactions with the Scrum Team including participation in daily stand-up, providing guidance on development and acceptance of features. You will also ensure that features are outlined with Product Management and architecture in adequate detail, ready for elaboration to the Scrum Team, minimizing variances in the quality of requirements and lessening the risk of features which lack adequate details to be given to Scrum Teams to work.

• Champions the delivery of the greatest business value with lowest effort required that enables the customer. Scrutinizes features and capabilities on their prioritization and their inclusion in a program increment and release; Is aware of backlog scope and priorities versus capacity and facilitates trade-off discussions with Product Management and the scrum team
• Continuously grooms and prioritizes the team backlog via backlog grooming sessions with the scrum team, ensuring the team’s estimates on work are accurately sized and ready in accordance to anticipated work (in alignment to product roadmap)
• Partners with the Scrum master to ensure Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, demos, retrospectives) are performed every sprint and PI accordingly; Facilitates demo sessions for product management and architecture every sprint, and with the customer (on an agreed upon interval with the customer/Product Management).
• Advocates for agility, team self-sufficiency, protects the team’s commitments once the sprint plan has been made; Open to negotiation for prioritization prior to next sprint as a result of product management or customer feedback
• Holds the line with stakeholders and the team to ensure a mix of feature delivery, technical debt, and innovation activities are included in team operating rhythms and committed plans
