Product Owners have an important role in the agile and hybrid software development process. While this role is supposed to maximize the value of a product, there seem to be several scattered results on how they achieve this, as well as what actually constitutes this role in practice. To consolidate current research results and to further analyze the key attribute of Product Owners, we conducted a multi‐method research approach spanning a systematic mapping study and a consecutive case study in a hybrid development environment.

产品负责人是沟通者吗？一种多方法研究方法，可在实践中更全面地了解产品负责人

产品负责人在敏捷和混合软件开发过程中发挥着重要作用。虽然这个角色应该使产品的价值最大化，但关于他们如何实现这一点，以及在实践中实际构成这个角色的内容，似乎有几个分散的结果。为了巩固当前的研究成果并进一步分析产品负责人的关键属性，我们在混合开发环境中进行了跨系统映射研究和连续案例研究的多方法研究方法。
