The Person You communicate precisely - your requirements and acceptance criteria leave no room for ambiguity. You're structured enough to manage a complex backlog across multiple workstreams, but pragmatic enough to know when to escalate rather than wait. You build trust with engineering, QA, and RA teams quickly, and you're comfortable holding the line on what needs to be built without telling developers how to build it.
