В сообществе Медиавики, "процесс разработки" - выделяют следующие стадии:
 * исследование и определение приоритетности потребностей пользователей
 * Сюда относятся: обращения к пользователям для исследования пользователей, обсуждения с ними, для подготовки обратной связи, сортировка и определение очередности запросов, функций и т.д.
 * принимать решение и определять что разрабатывать
 * working with designers and developers to implement or change features in the software
 * and analyzing if the solution is efficient and effective at solving the problems originally identified
 * This includes: managing incoming and prioritizing bug reports.Wikimedia Product Retreat Photos July 2013 62.jpg

The most visible product development work is done by the Discovery, Reading, and Editing teams in Wikimedia Foundation's Product department. Each has product managers responsible for product management along with analysts, designers, and a community liaison.

But there are also many volunteers doing similar work, often without formally calling it "product development": they're the volunteers who participate in software discussions, request and describe new features, report and triage bugs, and even complain on mailing lists.

Some of this work overlaps with what tech ambassadors do, and some is more about specifications and prioritization. In any case, your help is needed to ensure developers build features that are desired and useful to users.

If you are looking for projects to tackle on your own or with other volunteers, please consider doing user research and defining specifications about these possible tech projects.
