I have been leading a development team for about 1 year. We have been working on a web application but didn't have a dedicated PO up until 2 months ago. Our workflow was Kanban just picking up tasks from stakeholders directly through informal meetings, and loading them onto a backlog. We were ploughing along nicely delivering to defined milestones. The new PO immediately upon joining showed a casual disrespect for my authority in the team and positioned themselves where they started assigning existing tasks in the backlog directly to the team and myself (I am also a developer).
