A bit about Happy Jen
0 Very approachable product manager
0 The company grew too quickly so Jen went from one product one team to many products many many teams quickly.
0 No knowledge of Scrum, but dealt with teams that were highly scrum aware.

0 One Visionary , Big B, Many followers
0 Developers developed whatever Big B wanted
0 They shipped whenever

Then came Jen

0 Took over the product from the visionary.
0 Built some basic process like initial documentation of requirements

But
The teams continued to see Jen as a proxy product owner as
Big B The visionary continued to directly interact with
teams
