"A recent study from Atlassian shows that upwards of 80 percent of product teams don't collaborate with engineers during the early stages of product development. Product managers tend to exclude engineering teams from ideation, concept validation, discovery, and roadmap stages. If you've fallen into this trap, you're missing out on an opportunity to blend technical perspectives with strategy. The reality is that early involvement isn't a nice-to-have. It's a high-level collaboration move."
"Reframing the statistic I opened with, only 20 percent of engineering teams are part of the early stages of product development. With such little adoption, it might be easy to assume it's because engineers don't need to participate in these phases. But non-participation can have a negative impact on the final product as an engineering team's role can become isolated with a narrow focus on implementing code and technical excellence."
Upwards of 80 percent of product teams exclude engineers from early product development stages, leaving only 20 percent involved. Product managers often omit engineers from ideation, concept validation, discovery, and roadmap planning. Excluding engineers risks isolating engineering roles to code implementation and narrows technical perspective. Moving from handoffs to continuous feedback loops with engineers increases collaboration, reduces silos, and enhances adaptability. Early engineering involvement reveals feasibility constraints, uncovers innovative technical solutions, lowers hidden risk, accelerates time to market, enables faster iteration by reducing late-cycle changes, and fosters shared ownership and connection to the product vision.
