✅ Strong Response
A Product Owner in a data-driven team is responsible for maximizing the value of the product by aligning business goals with data insights. They define the product vision, prioritize features based on impact, and ensure the team is solving the right problems.
In a data science context, they work closely with data scientists to translate business needs into data problems, define success metrics, and ensure that models or insights actually drive decisions. They also act as a bridge between stakeholders and technical teams, making sure outcomes—not just outputs—are delivered.
❌ Weak Response
They manage the backlog and tell the team what to do.
👉 Why weak: Too narrow, misses strategy, impact, and data alignment.
