Who is the best stakeholder to collaborate with if a Product Manager wants to discuss an Enabler Feature for the upcoming PI?

System and Solution Architects are responsible for defining and communicating the technical and architectural vision for the solution. Enabler Features are technical initiatives that build out the Architectural Runway, which is necessary to support upcoming business Features. Therefore, the System/Solution Architect is the best stakeholder for a Product Manager to collaborate with on enablers. They have the technical expertise to define the enabler, understand its dependencies, and ensure it aligns with the overall architectural strategy, providing the necessary support for future development.

A. The Agile Team implements the enabler, but the Architect is responsible for its definition and strategic fit within the architecture.
B. Epic Owners are focused on large business initiatives (Epics) and their business outcomes, not the specific technical enablers required.
D. Business Owners are focused on business value and ROI. While they approve PI Objectives, they rely on architects for technical enabler details.
