Being the 'glue' between client vision and developer execution is not just about connecting dots, but about being an unofficial translator, buffer, people-pleaser, and emotional support in both service-based and product-based companies.
In service companies, the challenge lies in managing unrealistic client expectations, inheriting projects without proper planning, and dealing with ever-expanding requirements that often lack technical feasibility or user relevance.
In product companies, the focus shifts to internal stakeholders with visionary ideas, where collaboration, feedback broadcasting, and addressing technical constraints become crucial in the development process.
Regardless of the setting, the role of being the 'glue' is essential for ensuring alignment, communication, and successful outcomes in the complex landscape of client needs and developer capabilities.
