  • Validate ideas with customers and prospects before developing them into a product feature or release to maximize the customer value of product releases
  • Work closely with the UX and designers to ensure the user experience works well for the customer use cases
  • Define the scope/requirements of new features, and ensure features are broken down into small, valuable iterations by collaborating with engineers
  • Clarify scope and customer value to engineers so they can estimate the cost of features before development starts
  • Monitor the progress of iterations, ensuring those meet the defined scope/requirements, and raise concerns if it becomes more expensive than expected
  • Assist in marketing the product, such as positioning in a given context, and help create content for webinars, blogs, and conferences to promote the product best
  • Act as Product Owner in SCRUM
