In this episode, I am chatting to Karolina Kurdybacha, currently a Product Owner in Viasat Ireland. Karolina will give her perspective on what makes a professional software developer from the Product Owners viewpoint. We’ll talk about being honest with your product owner, understanding the full product end to end, knowing why there is an Agile process and how you can influence it. Also, we’ll discuss the need for developers to be engaged and proud of what they are building and why they should feel confident to raise concerns, whether technical or user based, to their Product Owner. I also quiz Karolina on how she feels about tech debt build-up and whether she believes we should be prioritising tests. Karolina also gives her book recommendation in Simon Sinek’s 'Start with Why' and we also mention The Phoenix Project during our discussion. Both books are linked below. As always if you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe and leave a review. Books:The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps and Helping Your Business Win By Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George SpaffordStart With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon SinekSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/rulesofsoftwaredev)
