Participate in customer, prospect, partner, and internal stakeholder conversations, including sales and delivery discovery calls, to understand needs, explain product direction, and gather feedback for future planning. Prioritize product work based on customer value, business impact, delivery effort, technical considerations, quality, testing needs, and strategic alignment. Support release planning by helping define release scope, communicate planned functionality, review readiness, coordinate stakeholder awareness, and identify unresolved risks or dependencies. Maintain product documentation, including product requirements, feature definitions, internal enablement materials, release notes, testing coordination notes, and related product communication. Collaborate with design, engineering, delivery, and QA stakeholders to ensure features are usable, technically sound, practical to implement, and sufficiently validated. Help identify opportunities for product improvement, operational efficiency, product integration, and better alignment across Naviam’s enterprise software offerings. Monitor customer, market, and technology trends relevant to assigned products and use those insights to inform product recommendations and prioritization discussions. Support Agile and Scrum‑based practices, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, prioritization, review, retrospective activities, and ongoing coordination with delivery teams as appropriate.
