“…described in Inspired [6]). Specifically, it does not explain how to integrate product discovery and delivery, which is crucial for creating the desired products [5]. Further, the product manager responsibilities described by the academic literature so far are quite broad and may overlap with other roles.…”

“…Instead of believing that the customer requirements exist upfront and should only be gathered, as POs would do, our PM would first ask whether the features are needed in the first place (Activity A1.2). Thus a lot of the effort of product managers in our study was dedicated to hypothesis formulation and testing in close collaboration with both the users and the product team, which is the essence of the Lean Startup [4] and dual-track agile [5]. These PM activities also remind what is described by the SAFe-framework, where the PMs are responsible for "defining and supporting the building of desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable products that meet customer needs over the productmarket lifecycle" [12] The PMs were working in this way both when it comes to new (A1) and existing products (A2) in the companies of different scale.…”

“…A dedicated manager should systematically discover features that maximize the product value and quickly experiment with the delivery of those features, the cost of their delivery, the usage by customers, and the actual return on investment from these features, as argued by Fitzgerald and Stol [3]. This is similar to what the Lean Startup approach [4] and dual-track agile [5] aim to achieve through a continuous build-measure-learn loop and experimentation with users. To achieve this, one needs a continuous end-to-end flow between customer demand, business strategy, and software development [3].…”

The product manager (PM) role is well established in leading technological companies, such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook. PMs are responsible for integrating technical, design, and business perspectives when developing software products and product portfolios. In agile methods (e.g., Scrum), similar responsibilities are linked to the Product Owner (PO) role. In contrast, in large-scale agile, one can find both Product Owners and product managers who sometimes compete. Despite the widespread adoption of the product manager role, the attention toward it in the agile academic community has been surprisingly limited. In this multiple case study, we analyzed 17 interviews with 11 product managers from four agile companies. We found that the PMs facilitated continuous product experimentation and innovation, supported the product teams, and engaged in additional activities to achieve optimal product development. Our summary of the product management activities can guide product managers working in agile companies.

“…Various attempts have been made to integrate User Experience (UX) design with continuous development in ways that achieve greater agility. Some have taken a dual track approach where design activity runs in parallel but synchronises at key points (Cagan, 2018, Trieflinger et al, 2021, or periodically inserts a short design sprint to answer key design questions (Knapp et al, 2016). Other approaches, drawing on Lean manufacturing ideas (Gothelf and Seiden, 2016), have posed incremental outcome hypotheses to be tested by each development sprint.…”

“…Esse fato ressalta não apenas a necessidade de pesquisa sobre o assunto, mas também o potencial inovador de pesquisas exploratórias na área. Ainda mais raras são as pesquisas que integram práticas MLOps com DesignOps, cuja possibilidade foi levantada por Trieflinger et al (2020) (HUTSON, 2018).…”

One in five source code management projects use DevOps technologies during the software engineering process. More than a third (38%) of posted job openings for software development roles require DevOps skills in training their candidates. The world market invested more than 327 billion dollars in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the year 2021, and 20 billion dollars were invested in startups in this field. In order to reconcile these two fronts of support for the development of quality software, DevOps and AI, the MLOps initiative aims to provide a guide to solutions that support DevOps practices for the development of artificial intelligence from machine learning. From the valorization of DevOps and MLOps practices in the market, and aiming at quality in the MLOps process, the literature presents initial efforts in the definition of DesignOps practices (integrating design and operations practices), with the objective of amplifying the value of design centered on the human in DevOps and similar processes. However, the following question remains unanswered in the literature: How to integrate DesignOps practices with MLOps practices in order to provide an end-to-end solution in the development of human-artificial intelligence interfaces? This project has an international team and aims to answer this question and create a model of best practices for MLOps and DesignOps integration.
