I’ve applied for a job, the company has a qualified product owner/manager. I’ve worked with POs before but usually they are SMEs rather than a qualified PO. I’ve been a hybrid BA for years, where are the lines of responsibilities? I have 2nd stage on Monday and want to be sure I’m understanding correctly. PO = driving vision, strategic goals, liaising with stakeholders at a higher level, BA = documenting req, writing stories, still liaising with stakeholders at a lower level. Thoughts please?

Honestly there’s no single answer to that. Every company is different and, within that, teams within a company can operate very differently. Case in point, I’m on a development team that operated mostly Lean, under a Waterfall structure for larger projects, and we collaborate with Agile teams within the company.

This is a great source for meaningful questions to ask in your interviews… team structures, how teams work together, reporting and hierarchy.

The more you questions you ask, the smarter you will sound for not making assumptions, and the more interested you will appear through the process. Hopefully you will get to a stage where you’re meeting with team members… interview the heck out of them!

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations.

Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.
