You may also want to include the manual in your definition of done. Hi Arnie, I find it useful to create the user manual incrementally, from sprint to sprint.

Im thinking that this is the best case because just like Scrum Masters, BAs work in between the client and the dev team, trying to get what are the requirements from the client, and taking into consideration whether the requirement is something that can be developed. I have a question though. Where do you put the part where the user manual has to be created? Thanks.

I am afraid we have to agree to disagree. The product owner role is strategic *and* tactical, as I explain here: http://www.romanpichler.com/blog/roles/one-page-product-owner/ Hi Ryan, Thanks for your comment.

I also recommend you make sure that the product ownership resides within the Scrum team - the product owner, ScrumMaster, and development team - even if some of the product owner responsibilities are distributed. You may find my post on single product ownership in Scrum useful: http://www.romanpichler.com/blog/roles/the-single-product-owner/ Does this help? Hi Sadia,
