As a website owner you will have a few responsibilities.

• You will need to define clear goals and KPIs (metrics + targets) for your project.
• You will need to think about the lifecycle of the project, does it have a pre-determined EOL date and what happens when it reaches end of life?
• What will you happens if the goals/KPIs are not met - at what point to we “admit defeat”?
• If dependent on moz.org team to build it, must accept that their business need will get prioritized along with other moz.org business needs (does not apply if budget is coming from business owner’s cost center).
• PMM clearance (for product groups that have a PMM)
