Well begun is half done.
If you have a development platform that can develop new, user-friendly and enterprise-grade software in days, you need to align your organization and it’s people to make sure the development team develop their functionality right, but also develop the right functionality.

The Product Owner aligns demands and needs, gives direction to the functionality that is developed and is crucial for the successful development and delivery of a new product (software).
