  1. Use LinkedIn company page to make announcements on behalf of ProductOwners.org. Later we can expand to media such as Clubhouse and more
  2. We believe in meeting each other through Open Space events, Meetings, Casual gatherings, Visiting companies and more.
  3. The website should be organized round 'Product Owner' themes. So it is easy to navigate and find relevant, high quality information.

  5. Above all, the platform needs to be practical, inviting, high quality and current!
