I think that Product Owners should be very involved with their team. I didn't say they should be uninvolved.
Why do you think I said that?
What I meant to say is that the product owner isn't really a product manager unless they are actually doing a product management role which is far more than the Product Owner role.
Dont assume that because I disagree with something in Scrum that I am using SAFE or Waterfall models. There are other ways to look at the world.
Also let me ask you this - are you as a product owner responsible for the products revenue, profit, growth, usage, customer satisfaction and retention? Are you responsible for defining and managing the product features, policies, price, sales partnerships, advertising and promotion and customer sales and support processes? If not then you are not really a product manager as its defined by the product management profession. My point is that there is far more to product management than imagined by Scrum.
