You own and shape the team backlog – turning fuzzy ideas, customer feedback, and strategic roadmap objectives into a clear, prioritized list of things actually worth building.
You translate business needs into crisp user stories and acceptance criteria that hold up when an agent (or a human) reads them at 9am and starts building – clarity isn't optional when code ships this fast.
You're the team's go-to for "what does this actually mean?" – available, decisive, and ready to cut through ambiguity mid-sprint.
You keep the agile rhythm sharp: planning, standups, refinement, reviews, and retros that make us better, not just busier.
You review and accept delivered work against agreed expectations, and give fast, constructive feedback when something isn't there yet.
You partner with Product Management on the roadmap and keep stakeholders – engineering, professional services, customer success, sales – aligned when priorities shift (they will).
You protect the team's room to explore and experiment – agentic development rewards discovery – while keeping a firm eye on the time budget, championing small, frequent releases and tight iteration over any big-bang plan.
You treat the agentic shift as a live experiment: how do estimation, "done," and the whole backlog change when agents do much of the building? You're genuinely excited to help figure that out.
