Who Owns This?

Useful question by MakotoTheKnight

I’ve been engaged for the last two or so days in some Agile training, and I’d like to understand a fundamental question before this gets too far.
At best, everyone involved in the discussions would be stakeholders. But I’m not entirely clear who’s really steering this whole operation.
So…who’s the point person that owns this thing?

(some parts snipped)

Depends in what sense you’re thinking about it. currently there are three roles - team lead, tech lead, and docs lead - that are @ArtOfCode, @Marc.2377, and @cellio respectively. As for site leadership, we haven’t decided on that yet.

I think they can be compared to “project owners” in the agile-management sense.

In the spirit of the project itself, we’ve been trying to conduct things in as flat of an hierarchy as we possibly can. In that sense, no single person or small group owns this project.
