Job Responsibilities

- Create and Define User Stories: Develop detailed and well-structured user stories that clearly communicate the feature requirements. Ensure that these stories include precise acceptance criteria and are ready for the development team to work on, meeting the “definition of done.”
- Feature Prioritization: Balance competing stakeholder needs, business objectives, and technical feasibility. Use prioritization frameworks like MoSCoW or RICE to make informed trade-offs, ensuring that the most valuable and impactful features are prioritized.
- Engage Stakeholders: Regularly communicate with stakeholders from different departments (e.g., marketing, sales, engineering) to gather input and manage expectations. Ensure that the product’s development aligns with stakeholder needs and that any conflicts or competing priorities are resolved effectively.
- Lead Agile Processes: Facilitate and lead agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. Ensure that the team stays focused on the sprint goals and that any blockers are addressed promptly to keep the project on track.
- Collaborate with Development Teams: Work closely with the development team to ensure they understand the product vision, user stories, and acceptance criteria. Provide ongoing support, clarify requirements, and answer any questions that arise during the development process.
- Make Data-Driven Decisions: Use product performance data, customer feedback, and analytics to guide product decisions. Track key metrics and KPIs to measure the success of features and use this data to prioritize future development efforts.
- Align with Product Vision: Ensure that all development work aligns with the broader product vision and strategic goals of the company. Communicate this vision clearly to the development team and stakeholders to maintain focus and direction.
- Adapt and Improve Continuously: Stay flexible and adapt to changing business needs, market conditions, or customer feedback. Foster a culture of continuous improvement by regularly reviewing processes and identifying areas for enhancement in both the product and team dynamics.
- Plan Releases: Collaborate with the development team and stakeholders to plan and manage product releases. Ensure that features are delivered on time, meet business expectations, and are coordinated with other departments like marketing and customer support for a successful launch.
- Ensure Product Quality: Work closely with quality assurance (QA) teams to ensure that all developed features meet the defined acceptance criteria. Participate in user acceptance testing (UAT) to validate that the product meets customer and business requirements before release.
- Maintain Customer Focus: Prioritize customer needs and feedback throughout the development process. Continuously gather insights from users and stakeholders to ensure that the product delivers meaningful value and enhances user satisfaction.
- Backlog Management: Prioritize the product backlog to align with business goals, ensuring that the most valuable and urgent features are addressed first.
- User Story Creation: Write and refine user stories and acceptance criteria based on stakeholder and customer input.
