The technical Product Owner OSCAR is the interface translating business requirements into IT specifications, through user stories, a crucial role regarding the development of our Billing and Finance IT systems and infrastructure. The Product Owner prepares these stories working with business stakeholders and the Billing Analysis team and feeds them into the scrum teams, keeping closely connected to make sure each sprint meets user requirements.

Development of the Billing and Finance IT infrastructure is done by both national and international development teams.
