“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” – W. Edwards Deming
A process owner is an individual accountable for the performance of a process and for ensuring the process delivers value to its stakeholders. Process owners manage the requirements of process stakeholders, translate those requirements into process performance objectives, and oversee the entire process design and improvement lifecycle. A Certified Agile Process Owner (CAPO) is the operational counterpart to a development Product Owner. Working together, Process Owners and Product Owners can instill agile thinking into the entire IT organization as the basis of a DevOps culture.
