How to Get Your Product Owner More Involved During The Sprint?



You know the drill. Sprint Planning wraps up, and then… your Product Owner disappears. You’re left without quick feedback, critical decisions are delayed, and the team’s momentum slows down…



I admit the similar situation happened to me years ago. So the episode is also a gift for me.



In this episode, we’ll explore why this happens and, more importantly, 3 practical ways to bring your Product Owner back into the Agile rhythm — without nagging, micromanaging, or making things awkward.



You’ll learn how to:

✨ Initiate honest conversations that actually shift behavior

✨ Use Sprint Reviews as a secret weapon to encourage engagement

✨ Help busy Product Owners transition into a better-fitting role still keeping them in the loop.



By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with actionable tools to rebuild collaboration, improve feedback loops, and protect your team’s ability to inspect and adapt — the core of any great Agile process.
