Full Post Text (Key Excerpt)
“Product Owners should always serve at the pleasure of engineering teams (developers)“
Why This Matches Ryva ICP

This tension usually points to missing decision contracts, not bad people. Teams move faster when they define who decides what: product intent, technical approach, and release tradeoffs. Without that split, every sprint planning becomes a role debate.Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
In your team, are product-vs-engineering decision rights explicitly documented for roadmap and release tradeoffs?
