Product Owner and Scrum modifications
Hi,
I started to learn about scrum and I have some concerns.
Scrum rule says 'Product Owner is 1 person not a comitee'
Following this rule my questions would be:
-Could the product owner be the person from the client side? Or just the one who works in company together with development team and scrum master?
-How much could I modify scrum? How to identify if it still scrum?
-Could the product owner be the person from the client side? Or just the one who works in company together with development team and scrum master?
Does the Scrum Guide rule out either of these possibilities?
-How much could I modify scrum? How to identify if it still scrum?
The Scrum Guide says:
"Scrum’s roles, events, artifacts, and rules are immutable and although implementing only parts of Scrum is possible, the result is not Scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as a container for other techniques, methodologies, and practices."
Thank you very much for your response!

Both - "The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog." The scrum Guide does not specify any rules to whether he should come from the Client side or from within the company. It's up to them. Any thing not mentioned in Scrum guide is alterable !
