Product Stakeholders Meeting (PSM)
- normally happens over multiple product groups at once (sometimes can be 1)
2 goals:

- as preparation on next milestone: agree on which stories need to go in which milestone (stakeholder meeting)
When
- decided in PM meeting, if they feel its needed to bring all stakeholders together
- can be because of unforeseen delay, can be planning for next release
- whenever org owner of company believes this is required
- decided in PM meeting, if they feel its needed to bring all stakeholders together
Who
- Everyone in company who has something to lose or win by delaying or prioritizing stories
What this is not!!!
- No discussions about content: FR/BUGS, Requirements, ... all of this needs to be properly prepared
Principles
- These meetings need to be super efficient.
- Normally lots of people are on these meetings that is why its super important to keep them dense and short.
- Preparation is done by product owners & in PM meetings, THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE WELL.
- Don't call for a PSM if no proper preparation done
- If story not well prepared, it gets skipped and needs to wait for next PSM.
- These meetings need to be super efficient.
Communication
