It is taking ownership for the technical sides of a product. Which I guess includes some project management... But no people management which is the thing (in my experience) that most people who don't want to be managers, don't want to do. As well as mentoring technical expertise on the side. Which is teaching, not managing. | |

But in his rare case, he could be empowered to communicate directly with the client and work on a sepearte epics or sections that would not encroach on the team. The team leader/BA/Product manager is usually a good middle man to have, but in this case it should be streamlined by allowing direct communication. | |
