It Takes More Than Just Developers. The Must-Have Roles to Create an App (bluelabellabs.com)

no mention of sales team. that to me is the 2nd most important part (aside from dev)

Ahh, yes, what in the world would we do with the barely technical product manager filled with delusions of grandeur trying to re-invent the wheel and "revolutionize" the UX with every release.

Terrible headline.

to create a business, perhaps.

to create an "app", you literally just need a developer

> The TPM or Engineering Manager (the terms are mostly interchangeable)

I'm not sure I agree with this assumption.

Looks like it's marketing material for a "development agency", so probably a few non-technical salesmen and managers that act as a middleman between the client and a bodyshop.

> We call them the “CEO of the project” as they’re ultimately responsible for connecting the dots to make sure goals are hit in a timely manner as well as for problem-solving when an issue surfaces.

PM managing devs is a red flag.

It’s worth remembering that almost none of the world’s most used apps/websites had a team like this when they were created.
