The CPO is the bridge between the business and the product. He or she is responsible for the product strategy and roadmap, but also for the product development process and its implementation. The CPO is responsible for all aspects of the product life cycle, from conception to retirement.

The role of a Chief Product Officer is not new in other industries. In manufacturing, for example, a Chief Product Officer is responsible for all aspects of a product’s life cycle, from conception to retirement. The CPO’s role in manufacturing is similar to that of a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) in marketing: both are responsible for all aspects of their respective products’ life cycles.

In digital companies, however, there has been no such role until recently. In most cases, there was no need for one because digital products were relatively simple and straightforward to develop and launch. But as digital products have become more complex and sophisticated over time – with more features and more data – they have become increasingly difficult to manage effectively without a dedicated CPO who can oversee all aspects of their development process.

The Chief Product Officer has two main responsibilities:

1) The CPO must ensure that the company’s product strategy aligns with its business strategy; that it meets customer needs; that it provides value to customers; that it generates revenue; and that it supports other company initiatives such as marketing campaigns or sales initiatives (if any). This requires an understanding of how customers use the company’s products or services as well as how they interact with them. It also requires an understanding of what competitors are doing in terms of their products or services as well as how they interact with customers.
