The Product Owner represents the interests of the Stakeholder community towards the Scrum Team. The Product Owner is responsible for ensuring clear communication of product or service functionality requirements to the Scrum Team, defining Acceptance Criteria, and ensuring those criteria are met. In other words, the Product Owner is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum Team delivers value.

The Product Owner must always maintain a dual view. He or she must understand and support the needs and interests of all Stakeholders, while also understanding the needs and workings of the Scrum Team. Because the Product Owner must understand the needs and priorities of the Stakeholders, including Customers and users, this role is commonly referred to as the Voice of the Customer.
