== What ==

To help Mozilla create compelling and innovative web products.

* Provide technical project management for web products.
* Create world-class user-facing websites, applications, and web-based campaigns.
* Helping other teams achieve their web-related goals as internal consultants and technical experts. 
* Foster communication between product owners and all technical teams involved.
* Document web development processes and best practices for internal and external teams. 
* Removing blockers and keeping momentum in projects.
* Collaborate with the greater Web Development community.


The following are some of the properties and application that we manage:

* [https://www.mozilla.org Mozilla.org]
* [http://careers.mozilla.org Mozilla Careers]

* [http://www.smartsheet.com SmartSheet]
* Web Analytics (Google Analytics on Mozilla Websites)

== Why ==

Why do we need a team focused on building websites?

* Ensure consistency, standardization, and quality of our websites.
* Manage scope and timeline to keep projects on track and lean.
* Improve efficiency in all aspects of the project life cycle.
* Prioritizing tasks and projects based on goals that help "move the needle".
* Making "pretty" designs a web reality.
* Baking continuous improvement into everything we do.

== Who ==

Our technical project managers (TPM) are official called [[Webdev/Web_Production/Positions/Web_Product_Engineer|Web Product Engineers]] (WPE) and instead of engineering code, they engineer and manage the entire life cycle of a technical web project. They are project managers that have experience in web development, project management, people management, and helping keep project teams happy and productive.

We have both front-end and back-end engineers that develop and implement the code that runs the web properties that we manage. We also now have a full-time Information Architecture and UX designer on the team that will help ensure that what we do on the web is focused on the user and always improving.
