I'm doing a eekly 1hr meeting where I'm going over with a director of engineering my soap box on managing a product management organization and actually it's coming out to be a pretty good episodic thing
Topics have been
- different types of product managers and the basic skill sets in developing requirements
- how product managers ensure an ongoing cadence for an engineering team
- dealing with product managers with varying backgrounds (engineering, data analyst, operational SME, consulting etc)
what's been fun is that this Director and I worked at a previous company with product managers that I didn't manage and I'm able to reference "hey remember that person? that person was awesome and here's why."
