excerpt… “While the Stakeholders are the most important people for the project, the most important person on the Scrum Team is the Product Owner (PO).

The Product Owner provides direction and goals for the Team, and prioritizes what will be done.”

This book will be treated as a collection of advanced topics on Scrum.
While many of the topics will be synergistic and even part of each
others context. We do not pretend to have a unified model. Instead we
will be pulling from what has worked for us in the context of solving
real world problems and attempt to capture those critical techniques
that make a difference.

This book will be setup with enough ground rules to go after these
advanced topics in scrum and provide real guidance that can at least
give shape to useful models that help the scrum practitioner.
