  • Cross-functional communication: Keep teams aligned through clear documentation, roadmaps, and stakeholder updates
  • Measurement: Define success metrics, track impact, use data to guide iteration
  • Write clear, outcome-focused PRDs including success metrics, user journeys, designs, and engineering acceptance criteria
  • Rapidly prototype PRDs into interactive mocks using Figma/Framer/Framer Motion (or similar), plus AI prototyping frameworks
