These are product-centric questions.

> What business risks or blockers exist?

Thats not a question that's readily available to developers, nor is it relevant until the project comes up in planning.

why not? developers are a key part of a business and shape it. they should certainly be paying attention to managements initiatives and what risks or blockers these may present to the project at hand. this would encourage alignment and clarification.
