What is an Agile Product Manager / Scrum Product Owner?

An Agile Product Manager uses Agile principles to work with teams and deliver products in small increments. This gives the business early return on investment and the ability to adapt to a changing market. In Scrum teams the role is carried out by the Scrum Product Owner.

Agile is a mindset and an umbrella term for a set of related methods and frameworks that help us to deliver projects on time and more efficiently. Scrum is the most popular Agile framework. Based on my experience, it is the number one framework used to deliver projects on time!
