  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Product Owner has the following responsibilities:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul class=&quot;noindent&quot;>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Define the features of the product;&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Decide on release date and content;&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Be responsible for the profitability of the product (ROI);&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Prioritize features according to market value;&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Adjust features and priority every 30 days, as needed; and&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Accept or reject work results.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The product owner is responsible for the first of the three Scrum ceremonies&amp;nbsp;:&amp;nbsp;Sprint Planning&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The Scrum Team looks at the prioritized Product Backlog and slices off the top priority items and commits to completing&#xD;
    them during a sprint. These items become the Sprint Backlog.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    In return for the Scrum team's commitment to completing the selected tasks, the Product Owner commits that he or she&#xD;
    will not throw new requirements at the team during the sprint. Requirements are allowed to change but only outside the&#xD;
    sprint. Once the team starts on a sprint it remains maniacally focused on the goal of that sprint.&#xD;
&lt;/p></mainDescription>
