The ExDev DDs are responsible for working with client teams such as Sports Art and non-content partners to find content creation solutions. While also finding scalability by applying standardized processes for requirements gathering, requirements analysis, and 3rd party vendor shortlisting, testing and selection, or alternative solutions.

They play a vital role in successfully moving the content development teams from one project phase to the next while ensuring a strong focus on quality, collaboration, and communication (both internally and externally).
