A Product Owner defines the product vision, prioritizes features, and manages the backlog to ensure the team delivers value that aligns with business goals.
No, a Product Owner focuses on the "what" and "why" of the product, while a project manager oversees timelines, resources, and the "how" of delivery.
Technical skills can help, but they're not essential. Strong communication, decision-making, and strategic thinking are the key skills for success.
