Product Owners micromanaging technical implementation decisions, undermining team autonomy and sprint planning
Scrum Masters and development teams struggle when Product Owners overstep their role by directing how technical work gets implemented rather than defining what needs to be built. This creates conflict, slows sprints, demoralizes engineers who lose ownership, and makes it unclear who's actually accountable for technical decisions. Current Scrum frameworks lack clear enforcement mechanisms for role boundaries, leaving Scrum Masters without authority to prevent this interference.
