You're right, that's exactly what a producer is in this business. Usually each product has a producer who is ultimately responsible for it. A lot of the time this means stuff like doing plans in Microsoft Project and timetracking the team, but it also means things like helping with design docs, testing, etc.. -- basically it's a producer's job to make sure nothing "falls through the cracks" so to speak.
