In my previous role as a Senior Product Owner at HCL Technologies, I was responsible for managing an IoT-based mobile application project for a leading air conditioning company in Japan. This project was executed in an Agile environment, where I led a team of five product owners. My primary responsibility was to manage the product backlog effectively and ensure that user stories were prioritized based on business value and customer needs.

To manage the backlog, I conducted regular meetings with stakeholders to gather requirements and understand their priorities. I used these insights to create and refine user stories, ensuring they were clear and actionable. I employed a combination of MoSCoW prioritization and value-based scoring to rank the user stories, focusing on delivering maximum value in each sprint.

Additionally, I facilitated sprint planning sessions where we reviewed the backlog and selected the highest-priority items for the upcoming sprint. I worked closely with the development team to ensure they had a clear understanding of the user stories and acceptance criteria. Throughout the process, I maintained open communication with all stakeholders to address any changes in priorities or requirements, ensuring that the project stayed aligned with the overall business objectives. This approach helped us deliver a successful product that met the client's expectations and enhanced user engagement.
