Ideally. When I started as a programmer companies had business analysts who had domain expertise and made sure software mapped to the domain and actual users. Now we have PMs, usually glorified project managers, too often with little or no domain expertise or technical understanding. I freelance so I don’t have PMs or analysts, I have to learn the domain and deal with the management/client/users directly.
