Hire Nearshore Agile Product Owners | TeamStation AI
In an Agile team building AI products, the Product Owner plays a critical role. They are responsible for translating the high-level product vision into a detailed, prioritized backlog of user stories and technical tasks that a data science and engineering team can execute on. Our vetting process finds Product Owners who excel at this, with a special focus on their ability to manage the unique challenges of an AI development lifecycle.
The Problem
It's difficult to break down a complex AI goal (e.g., 'improve recommendation accuracy') into small, incremental stories that a team can work on. This leads to long, risky research spikes and a lack of demonstrable progress.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We provide Product Owners who are skilled at creating a well-defined backlog for AI projects. They are experts at writing user stories that are independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable (INVEST), even for experimental ML tasks.
The Problem
AI development is often more experimental than traditional software development. Sprints can easily fail to deliver a 'done' increment, leading to frustration and a sense of unpredictability.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our Product Owners are experienced in managing Agile for AI. They know how to structure sprints that balance research spikes with engineering tasks, and how to define a 'valuable increment' that might be a learning outcome rather than a shippable feature, keeping the team motivated and productive.
