I haven't met one yet, and I am only working with them on engineering. But all who I have worked with: 1. Recite _Jobs To Be Done_ in every brainstorming and UX meeting. 2. Call the text and the CTA in a popup as "Information Architecture" instead of anything else human. 3. Spreadsheet gurus who prefix their sheet as *Source of Truth* and ask me to update it with data from JIRA and Github. 4. Increase top-funnel metric towards the end of the quarter by prioritizing eng work like adding entry points to our feature in other pillars so our initiative looks like a success. Can anyone please share signs and stories of your team having a GOOD PM? 1. I had one who knows how to pull their own data so that's a massive time saver on DS. #productmanager
When they get moved around from team to team because business thinks they can magically solve all their problems.
Nice.
Don't agree with any of these. You have a good pm if he demonstrates tenacity in understanding the customers and their problems. You have a good pm if they can identify opportunities and problems in data and design and conversation. You have a good pm if they can make decisions based on resources and timelines in a rational and independent way. You have a good pm if they communicate ideas to clear internal obstacles. You have a good pm if they are commercial, creative, technical and charismatic.
Hi PM.
I have an amazing PM on my team. He’s worth his weight in gold. I’m a EM 1. Airtight PRDs before Eng sync 2. Logical product decisions on bugs/stories, quick and decisive while still carefully deliberating on how a feature can ship. Makes sure to get all inputs and never half asses a delivery scope. 3. Covers our eng teams with doc/program alignment. Any sev1 blow ups, he manages the customer communications so it’s less stress on our team. 4. Communicates effectively written and verbal and unblocks our teams on dependencies before we even start spiking the effort. 5. Transparent roadmap and explains to Eng the why and business priorities, everyone is onboard with whatever he is the PM of because his presence ensures the feature is org important and will ship 100% of the time. 6. Does not overdo it with typical PM jargon to sound important, he literally knows his shit inside and out. More business oriented then technical but can inherently understand technical guardrails, APIs, and systems. 7. Humble, puts himself in service. Always willing to hop on and help other Eng teams. Other PMs go to him for feedback and guidance on their scope. 8. Just overall good people person. All other EMs want to work with him, he makes my job easier He is very respected and went from P3 (PM) to P5 (principal) in 2 years which in unheard of at Workday. I think he is late 20s or early 30s too. Probably going to be in senior product leadership if he stays.
This gives me hope!
