HIGHLIGHTS OF THE JOB
Hello, my name is Biljana, I have been at Societe Generale since 2016. I started as a system engineer and then became a Scrum Master, then Product Owner on the API side and now I'm a Product Owner on the web portal side.
My job as Product Owner consists of developing a product that fits with the expectations of a business need. I'm the link between the client and the development teams.
What's my daily job? I have to identify and prioritize functional requirements. Then I cut out and prioritize these functionalities for the developers, I test them and present them as demos. The second part of the job is to have a vision of my product, establish a roadmap and adjust it if necessary, regarding the jobs needs and technical constraints. To me, a good Product Owner is someone who combines leadership, technical, business and marketing knowledges, because you have to sell your product afterwards.
What I like the most in my job is talking to lots of different people: the product manager team, dev teams, clients or architects. I also like establishing the product strategy, and finally working together as a team, because since we're in agile mode, feedbacks help us to improve.
I joined Société Générale to be able to evolve without changing companies. That's more or less what I did. Within five years, I have had four different jobs.
In addition, Société Générale supports us with business training or e-learning platforms, for example. There is also an agile center. Technically, you evolve in a rich and diverse environment. Agility also means “test and learn”, so you have more room for error. And that's pretty cool.
