I should have been clearer.  I meant the tech-side PO.  There has to be a PO in the IT org  If there isn&#x27;t, the product will languish under the weight of mounting technical debt and eventually die.  The same often happens if there&#x27;s no biz-side PO, but in those cases someone from the tech org usually adopts the product and just does their best, for better or for worse.
