Hi Brian,

Why do you think that your boss is "puzzled about what
her role is, and what value she brings to the table"
?Didn't she have duties/responsibilities other than
acting as a liaison between you and the developers? 

Perhaps you are the one with doubts, now that you have
to assume full responsibility for your actions. I am
not saying this to start a flame, but to merely make
you aware of another possibility. Removing the safety
net can be scary.

Lastly, unless you are dating or are close friends
with this woman, why are you even puzzled about what
her role is with the company?
