A Day in the Life

The Business Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the business value delivered by a dedicated, fixed capacity, cross functional team (Pod). Operating within Medtronic’s Agile, product aligned operating model, the Business Product Owner represents business and customer needs, translates strategic priorities into a clearly ordered backlog, and partners closely with the Pod to deliver incremental, measurable outcomes through continuous delivery and feedback loops.

The Senior Business Product Owner balances near term operational and customer outcomes with longer term product direction. They continuously adjust priorities based on value, learning, and performance data— shifting scope rather than timelines or team capacity— to ensure delivery remains focused on the highest impact business outcomes.

• Engage stakeholders through regular reviews, demonstrations, and feedback sessions
• Balance competing stakeholder needs using value‑based prioritization rather than scope commitments
• Ensure expectations are aligned with Pod capacity and delivery realities

Pod Collaboration & Enablement

• Work day‑to‑day with the Pod to clarify intent, priorities, and acceptance criteria
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies and planning events to support shared understanding
• Enable the Pod to focus on delivery by providing clear priorities and fast decision‑making
• Foster a collaborative, outcome‑focused working relationship built on trust and accountability

Alignment & Dependency Management

• Ensure backlog priorities remain aligned with broader product, portfolio, or value‑stream direction
