Mark,
I think a startup provider great opportunity both what one can do from
overall "Customer Experience" perspective as well as Internal
organization process.
I think the common role titles don't apply as much in a startup as
mostly it is short of cash and resources.
In my case I do following:
1. Customer research, Market needs/opportunities, product roadmap incl
feature prioritization and roll out plan - product manager hat.
2. Since I do overall prioritization and roadmap I also act as a SCRUM
Master (typically product manager and scrum master should not be
mixed, but so far so good).
3. I have a tight focus along with the CEO on every touchpoint with
the customer not just the product itself - Customer Experience
designer
4. This also ties into marketing strategy , I am not a 100%
responsible for it, but deeply involved
5. Usability testing
6. Product Design - Interaction designer, graphic designer hat
7. Front end coding - HTML, CSS , and sometimes little bit of javascript
8. Tester - Functional Testing - as features are built
Different roles, but it all just flows in very well in my experience.
(Our product is not out yet, but would be out very soon)
Cheers
AJ
