Abstract: This paper aims to review the Product Owner role in a contemporary agile team by testing hypotheses related to the availability for the team members, to his capacity of establishing the priorities for the development process, to the procedures related to the interaction with the other team members and to the possibility to approve the work that has been done. In order to meet this objective, it was applied a questionnaire on 80 people that are distributed within 5 teams and who are working on different positions such as Proxy Product Owner, Scrum Master, Technical Business Analyst, Tech Lead, Developer, WebOps, Front End, QE Lead, Manual Tester and Automation Tester. The empirical analysis confirms that the Product Owner establishes all priorities related to IT product development and approves the work that was finished. These results are important and confirm that, despite all the issues determined by a limited availability and not a perfect interaction with the team members involved in development, Product Owner manages to deliver quality to clients.
