PO Onboarding

All new POs will go through PO Onboarding before they are officially the PO of their first component. PO Onboarding is led by Jonathan. Onboarding includes the following meetings and additional administrative updates:

Slack Updates

POs will be added to the appropriate PO group for the project that they’re on. These groups are used to communicate upcoming meetings, get information for planning, and to communicate with one another.

  • CES: cesproductowners

  • CKM: ckmproductowners

  • SPL: tas-productowners

  • SRE: sreproductowners

You will also be added to an additional PO specific Slack channel: #va-product-owners
