Transitioning into a newly-formed product development team over the last few years has provided an expanded framework for the types of roles I had well before that. Not quite a developer, not quite a designer, but making contributions toward building the right thing. Having moved from report developer to product owner over the last five years, I was able to wear many hats so others didn’t have to. The roles and responsibilities I took on–planning, prioritization, long-term direction–allowed my teams to focus and deliver.
