Responsibilities
Feature development: Translate the prioritized backlog of epics into well-defined features and user stories, always centering on understanding and solving core customer needs with a 'What problem are we trying to solve?' philosophy. This involves close collaboration with engineering and quality assurance to ensure the developed solutions align with the product vision and direction. Crucially, you will define clear success criteria for testing and product acceptance, and strategically prioritize the delivery of high-value features while being mindful of development effort
Manage the backlog: Maintaining a continuously prioritized list of items aligned with the strategic delivery plan. You will collaborate with the technical leads to apply t-shirt sizing to backlog items, ensuring that all user stories meet the Definition of Ready before development begins. A key aspect is to always ensure the development team has an adequate number of ready tasks to work on, while also strategically prioritizing the resolution of defects and bugs based on organizational objectives
Iteration Planning: Ensure close collaboration with the development team, playing an active role in identifying and mitigating any impediments that could hinder the successful completion of Release or Sprint development. This includes participating in progress reviews throughout the sprint to confirm that development aligns with expected outcomes and proactively reduce the risk of late-found defects
Release Planning: You will take the lead in defining product release plans and setting clear expectations for the delivery of new functionalities, working closely with technical leads throughout the sprint lifecycle. This also involves actively tracking progress towards each release by creating and communicating comprehensive release metric reports as a regular part of each sprint cycle
Enablement of Internal Teams: Define and execute a plan to educate and empower internal teams (e.g., Sales Engineering, Delivery, Support) on the new product capabilities and value proposition. This includes creating relevant training materials, conducting workshops, and ensuring they have the necessary knowledge to effectively position and support the product
Cross-Functional Alignment and Communication: Establish clear communication channels and processes to ensure alignment across internal teams (e.g., Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales) regarding the product roadmap, release plans, and key messaging. This fosters a unified approach to the product's introduction and adoption within the organization
Internal Feedback Loops and Advocacy: Implement mechanisms for gathering feedback from internal stakeholders on the product's usability, value, and potential improvements. This internal feedback loop can inform future iterations and ensure strong internal advocacy for the product's success
