Bio
Richard Cariven
Elwyn is a dedicated Product Owner who understands the need of the customer and the ability of the team to meet those needs. He produces clear and concise acceptance criteria and his development background allows him to be involved with the design process however he defers to the Dev team and never imposes his view of how a solution should be designed. He is approachable and always willing to answer questions on anything to do with the system. He is driven and knows exactly what the end product should be, but is also pragmatic and willing to compromise when needed. He sets stretching but achievable expectations and never allows pressures from Senior Management to directly impact how he interacts with the Engineering Team. He is passionate about Quality and fully supports QA throughout the Agile workflow working closely with testers to understand test coverage and support QA if needed if issues arise between Dev and Test about the correct approach needed. Elwyn is knowledgable about a range of subjects and is personable and easy to get on with, he ensures he is a part of the whole team and as a result the team work to provide him a great product. I would happily work with Elwyn again in any company.
