    Andrew - how come you don’t include product management or product marketing as a role? I’ve wondered this for a while. PMs and PMMs are the articulators of the value prop and the champions for the user. Design delivers that value, engineering enables it, but PM makes sure that everyone’s working toward the same goal. If you hadn’t guessed I’m a PM type.
