This is a YouTube video titled "Dmitry Zlokazov is the Head of Product at Revolut" containing a monologue or talk by Dmitry Zlokazov, discussing the roles and responsibilities of product owners, their autonomy, and how they manage teams to deliver value to customers. The content is from June 6, 2025, and focuses on product management concepts.

Everyone has a line manager and a functional manager. So product owner is always the line manager for everyone on the team, meaning product owner defines what they need to do. Product owner is someone who is expert in the domain, customers, their pain points, the problems they're facing, the value that we need to deliver to them. They translate this information into the team, translate it into tasks or everyone, and hence they need to run these teams. If you are required to be an owner of something, then you need to have tools and resources to deliver this. And then you need to have certain freedom and autonomy to make these decisions. It also makes sense for someone who defines what needs to be done, to give tasks to people, right, and assess them against the results, the business results, and the product results and how satisfied the customers and how we're helping them.
