Hi PMs at FAANG and other big tech companies- can you please shed some light on your major roles and responsibilities as PM? Do you have to manage the Jira tickets as part of your job and is there a scrum master position as well that does that and PMs don’t have to do that ? Also, in terms of responsibilities if you can spread it by what’s % of the week is spent on each category that would be helpful. I’m considering moving in PM space as one of the options. Currently I’m a product owner in my company, but not a full fledged PM and want to learn more about the role before I decided to start preparing for PM interviews and start considering pivoting to PM.
As a product manager I guide the strategy of my area by spec’ing updates and new features as well as supporting my product in cross functional initiatives. Additionally, I provide some level of operational support for my product area to end users.
Got it, thanks for your reply. Do you track individual stories assigned to different SWEs in your team and are you the one who accepts the deliverables ?
