Task objectives
Combine design, business and engineering skills to create efficient, forward-thinking products that meet user and stakeholder requirements within the frame of the product strategy.
A Product Developer is a professional role responsible for the development of product(s) in AREA42. Product Developers decide which product features should be developed in line with the product strategy and its goals. They identify the customer need and the larger business objectives that a product or feature will fulfil, articulate what success looks like for a product, and rally a team to turn that vision into a reality. They are responsible for the functional requirements, and managing feature releases.
Product developers specify high-level functional and non-functional requirements, and manage feature releases. They coordinate work done by many other functions and are ultimately responsible for product outcomes.
