It involves <strong>all professions<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>project managers<\/strong>, who define requirements and prioritize useful functionalities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UX\/UI designers<\/strong>, who create clear, lightweight interfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>technical teams<\/strong>, who optimize code and
