What role does the Business Owner play in value delivery?

The Business Owner plays a crucial role in value delivery by approving and accepting the delivered value from the Agile Release Train (ART). This position is instrumental in ensuring that the outcomes aligned with business goals and customer needs are met following each Program Increment (PI). The Business Owner represents the voice of the customer and ensures that the team delivers features that provide actual business value.

Their involvement not only signifies the validation of completed work but also reinforces accountability for the delivered outcomes. By accepting the work and providing feedback, the Business Owner facilitates an ongoing collaboration between the product and development teams, which is essential for continuous improvement and alignment with organizational objectives. This engagement helps drive successful product delivery and maximizes the overall value derived from the development process.
