Episode 17 - Picking Product people
There are several skills a Product Owner needs and a good number of them are shared with Product Managers. There are many different opinions on how the two relate or interact with few areas that people agree on. Cory and Kim dive into the similarities and differences between the two, talk about which they prefer, and some strategies for working together.

Great episode and perspective. The difference between PM and PO really does differ from place to place. I have worked with good PMs who included me in conversations with Execs and Users, while others just communicated bits and pieces of info and not including me. Biggest dissapointment is when I don't know why decisions were made and what the inputs were. Biggest thrill is knowing I am aware of exactly what Execs and Users want, and in this paradigm I have been most successful. Sorry to hear Kim is leaving......
