Hi, welcome to PMSE, the site for expert and enthusiast PM's. Consider giving more detail in your question so that it targets your unique situation. Scrum is oftentimes handled quite differently from organization to organization, and having specifics will make sure that you don't get plain, vanilla, academic answers that can be found on Google. :) – jmort253♦ Mar 11 '12 at 21:11
Thanks for your reply, when the Product owner get the project what artifact he uses to develop the vision? he write a document on doc file? the problem is when talk about vision I think in vision document used in RUP. – Meth0d Mar 11 '12 at 21:25
Again, I personally think it depends on the details of your situation. If you're looking for pure academic answers you can probably find them on Google, but if you have a specific project you're referencing, you're likely to get better answers if you edit your question with more detail about your situation. :) Also, we're not a product-recommending site, but we do have some historical questions where people asked for book recommendations: pm.stackexchange.com/questions/2114/resources-for-scrum – jmort253♦ Mar 11 '12 at 21:28

Scrum has no rules about how the required documents are created. I've seen mindmaps, vision boards and plain word documents, as a basis for the project kickoff.

The PO should consider the audience the document ist for. Sometimes it is enough to sketch something an a napkin, other times you might need a full project proposal document.

You might want to read this article (scrumalliance.org) on product vision, it also has a few pointers to books at the end.

I've found conversations to be most effective. The artifact can be subject to interpretation and later, to debate. Building a relationship and opening a channel for conversation will get the whole process started on the right foot (and keep it there as things change).
