Hi,
I am working in an organization in which the board has decided on taking in a series of projects to improve the current software performance and efficiency of processes such as error tracking and deployment. All the teams that are assigned by each of these projects are being told that they have to take care of the requirement gathering and scope definition and all backlog creation and no product owner is assigned to these teams. They reasoned that these projects are all too technical and there's no need for the role of product owner in them.
