Role Summary – Advisor Product Owner:

This role’s primary responsibility is to leverage strong prior experience with software product development teams and agile lifecycles, as well as experience with various learning management systems (LMS), to help lead and support feature development activities for DXC’s ExperienceHub learning experience platform. This role is a mix of internally and customer facing and will work closely within the product team to elaborate market/business requirements from Product Management into appropriate product and feature level artifacts, including user stories, functional designs, work flows, use case scenarios, and the like. You will also help to manage these requirements through their iterations in an Agile product development lifecycle, providing clear definitions of “Done” and corresponding “Acceptance Criteria” for requirements. Of additional importance is supporting the team's ability to translate these functional requirements into solution specifications via technical architecture schematics, design artifacts, wireframes/mock-ups and the like where possible.

This role is a critical part of the Agile/SCRUM team responsible for executing software development sprints.
