One of the hardest parts of being a Product Owner is to find the required balance between so many seemingly competing directions and demands.

[156] - Q&A#?

For product folks, how do you identify the core problem? How do you know when you've fixed enough small problems to start tackling the bigger picture? And do people who make things really love problems or is problem-solving just a necessary (and sometimes exhausting) part of the creative process?
