Abstract [sv]

Företag står inför en utmaning att kunna anpassa sig efter snabba förändringar och att producera produkter snabbt. Därför har många företag valt att implementera agila utvecklingsprocesser, där den dominanta metoden är Scrum. I Scrum finns det tre roller varav en är produktägare. Produktägare är en komplex roll som har förändrats sedan den utvecklades. Den definieras olika i populärlitteratur och auktoritativa guider vilket har lett till att företag implementerat rollen olika. I denna studie undersöks vad produktägares arbete kännetecknas av och hur de använder sin tid. Studien använder en triangulering av strukturerad observation, intervjuer och enkät för att studera de aktiviteter och roller produktägare har. Studien bygger på ledararbete och de roller som Mintzberg identifierat. Resultatet visar att produktägares arbete är hektiskt och fragmenterat. Hur en arbetsdag ser ut varierar mellan produktägare och även mellan olika dagar. Det dagarna har gemensamt är att produktägarna deltar i möten. Resultaten tyder även på att kommunikation en viktig del i arbetet. De viktigaste rollerna som har identifierats är informationsspridare, talesperson och övervakare vilka är kopplade till informationshantering.

 

Abstract [en]

Companies in today's market need to be able to adapt to rapid changes and to produce products quickly. Therefore, many companies have chosen to implement agile development processes, where the dominant method is Scrum. In Scrum there are three roles, one of which is product owner. Product owner is a complex role that has changed since it was developed. It is defined differently in popular literature and authoritative guides, which has led to companies have implemented the role differently. This study examines what the product owners' work is characterized by and how they spend their time. The study uses a triangulation of structured observation, interviews, and questionnaires to study the activities and roles of product owners. The study is based on managerial work and the roles that Mintzberg has identified. The result shows that the work of the product owner is hectic and fragmented. What a working day looks like varies between product owners and between different days. What these days have in common is that the product owners attend meetings. The results also indicate that communication is an important part of the work. The key roles that have been identified are disseminators, spokesperson and monitor which are linked to information management.
