Ownership Principles

Everything needs an owner
The owner doesn’t have to be the task executor
Ownership can change (but must be notified to the team)
The owner can have assistants but there is only one owner
Ownership must be actively accepted by the owner - you can’t assign ownership without their knowledge
The owner should actively communicate any changes, progress, or issues to the team and stakeholders
If the owner delegates tasks, they should ensure the delegate understands their responsibilities and has the necessary resources to fulfill them
