As a project manager we work in all phases of a project. Crucial activities are planning and sequencing of activities, in order to keep dependencies managed efficiently. We always keep a good communication to stakeholders and within the project team. Most of our projects have been in an Agile context with 1 part business and 1 part tech, either system development or system setup/migration.
Backlog management is the main work task for PO. Prioritizing so that we can develop the right item at the right time. Just as PM, stakeholder management is crucial for PO. Own and communicate a product vision. Align the product vision with the higher business vision. Close collaboration with BA and SM to enhance quality of stories that are ready for development.
Identify unspoken expectations and dependencies and get them on the table early is critical for delivering productive software, when we are consulting as BA we spend a lot of time with these tasks. In addition to that is stakeholder management, get the right people in the room (facilitation) and requirements engineering.
