The many words aren't a problem, as long as we can all agree on what these various people are and they take responsibility for. When we don't agree, we run the risk of not managing our strategy, not thinking in terms of problems, and not managing our tactics. Here's how I think of the various agile product roles: product managers, product owners, and business analysts.
