"However, you can feel it in the experience as a user when the product team is given the keys to the kingdom and left unchallenged. The product becomes soulless and vapid"

Wow. Incredibly that there are people who think this. So only an engineer with no product team input can build products with a soul? Really?

A middle way exists between "keys to the kingdom" and "no input".

Yep, this is my intention. Good product is made via collaboration between the people writing the stories and determining the overall experience and the engineers that make it happen.

I would add that in the development of the best products, the engineers don't merely implement, they also invent new features and whole categories of services.

That I 100% agree with. Those who build the product should have a significant input and decision making power on how to improve the product. No doubt!
