Tasks Most Likely to Change
| Task Component | Exposure | What This Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Feature Prioritisation | Medium | Assisted by AI data, but requires strategic vision |
| Roadmap Drafting | High | Logistical drafting is automated |
| Stakeholder Alignment | Low | Navigating corporate politics and vision |
| User Empathy | Low | Understanding human pain points and desires |
