I have said similar things to a few replies but i really think it’s less simple and there being one way that works. I’m sure the agree to disagree works sometimes but my experience is we need to trust people to do their job, and if we cannot, we need to move on without them. This isn’t to say we will disagree and not find a way to live with it. I more mean, the ideal outcome is that the mind of developers and product staff are tightly aligned. If they’re not, that’s going to be a constant source of friction that’ll slow down everything about product development. I personally believe (and maybe bias is showing now) that a lot of the best ideas come out of the people closest to the code. It’s often easy to spot opportunity as a developer, but we need to not discount the work good product people out into user research and market research. Neither alone is sufficient, but the teams have to work together to get the idealized outcomes.
