14 0 ReplyYou don't designate a user advocate or at least have a representative of Trust & Safety to advice on development?
2 3 ReplyIt was a joke, dear.
2 0 ReplyOh, my comment was a joke too, darling. We know that no one on project management cares enough to actually have proper user advocates on the dev team.
4 3 ReplyI'd prefer a well equipped UX research team tbh. "Advocate" is one of those job titles that screams "my role is poorly defined"

I think they meant shareholders
4 0 Replynot necessarily. Your "stakeholders" on the deal/contract that interface with product and success managers could all be VPs who never use the product.
2 3 ReplyNo. A stakeholder is anyone with an interest in the project. Where you consider the importance of a particular stakeholder vs another is a different question.
6 0 ReplyThat doesn't sound like a very helpful or useful definition in day to day operations.
2 4 ReplyMeh. It is what it is though. That's why you have stakeholder analysis.
