Are you a “Product Owner” or a “Product Clerk”?

A while ago I read the blog post Top 10 signs you are a Product Clerk and not a Product Owner. The author Eric Laramée postulates ten signs that tell whether a Product Owner is more like a Product Clerk.

I prefer questions. So I decided to reformulate the statements into questions:

1. Have you ever used a similar product?
2. Were you ever annoyed by the limits of the existing product (competing or not)?
3. Do you understand more than the high level basics of the needed solution?
4. Can you answer almost every question regarding the product yourself?
5. Is your Product Backlog filled with horizontal and technical items?
6. Does feedback mostly come from stakeholders during Sprint Reviews?
7. Putting your foot down sounds like a feather hitting the floor?
8. Are you able to quickly and convincingly state the Vision of “your” product?
9. Do you call meeting after meeting and then a few more meetings with your development team when Mr. Stakeholder 2 overturned the request of Mr. Stakeholder 1, and then back again?
10. Do you have a budget?

Bonus :
Do you have that twinkle in your eye when you talk about “your” product?

If you are a Product Owner (or Product Manager), how did you answer the questions?
