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."

so in various email chains and slack threads I'll forward them to said director (if he's already not in there) and be like "ok a GOOD product manager would do THIS" and a "BAD product maanger would do THAT" rememember when so and so did THIS? that was good.
