Collaboration/Team/Roles and responsibilities

Product owner
The product owner, in a nutshell, is ultimately responsible for the product or service to be delivered. The product owner is responsible for:
 * Providing vision for the product or service being developed
 * Being the single point of escalation for contending priorities among stakeholders
 * Managing the product road map
 * Making final decisions about trade-offs when desired functionality, or scope, exceeds the capacity of the team
 * Defining the target constituent for iterations, releases, and the overall product
 * Making final decision about whether or not work done on stories is complete ('acceptance').
 * Doing the work of determining what features the team should work on in order to achieve our user, community, and Foundation goals. This is done in collaboration with the team
 * Making sure that our products have a coherent, compelling user experience

Because the product owner has the final say over prioritization, there should be only one person acting as product owner.
