Responsibilities
- Own the single-team product backlog.
- Ensure continuous backlog readiness to support fast, iterative delivery.
- Made day-to-day scope and sequencing decisions to minimize delivery friction and rework.
- Conduct interviews and requirements workshops with business and technical stakeholders to elicit and clarify business needs.
- Translate business needs into well-structured, testable requirements.
- Maintain clear, precise documentation that enables efficient and accurate implementation.
- Provide clear product intent by articulating the problem being solved, desired outcomes, and constraints.
- Supply grounding context for both engineers and AI-assisted development workflows, including domain assumptions, user behaviors, system invariants, and acceptance boundaries.
- Ensure intent and context remain current as requirements evolve, preventing misalignment.
- Act as the primary source of truth for what success looks like at the epic, feature, and story level.
- Perform high-fidelity validation of epics before decomposition into features.
- Ensure epics are sufficiently precise, well-scoped, and grounded to support AI-assisted implementation.
- Identify & resolve ambiguity, hidden assumptions, and incomplete intent early to reduce downstream rework.
- Validate that epics are actionable, testable, and aligned with architectural constraints prior to execution.
- Serve as a quality gate ensuring epics are ready for accelerated delivery within an AI-Native dev model.
- Continuous Delivery Validation & Outcome Alignment
- Continuously validate work against product intent, grounding context, and expected outcomes as implementation progresses.
- Provide in-flight clarification and refinement of requirements to maintain alignment as engineers and AI-assisted workflows iterate rapidly.
- Perform incremental acceptance of capabilities as they emerge, focusing on correctness, completeness, and behavioral alignment rather than ceremony milestones.
- Ensure delivered functionality is usable, extensible, and aligned with domain constraints, system boundaries, and quality expectations.
- Detect gaps between intended and actual outcomes early and drive corrective action before scale or automation amplifies defects.
- Communicate progress, scope tradeoffs, risks, and delivery outcomes to stakeholders.
- Act as the primary product point of contact for the AI-Native team, ensuring alignment between business intent and engineering execution.
