Expectations of PMs
links’ definition of project manager: someone who manages resources (i.e. time, money, effort) towards some goal
- implication: you have to articulate the goal
- implication: for best results, make best use of resources towards goal
At Bounty Board, we have SHARED resources
- i.e. devs, BANK, and time is all shared between projects, so project managers are expected to articulate and convince people WHY they are the best project to get resources
PM in a nutshell:
- Understand/articulate the goal - write down objectives and required information
- Set up a cadence of accountability - i.e. a weekly meeting where you do the following:
- review the work done (or not done) the previous week
- align on priorities/blockers/next steps
- commit to some tasks for the following week
- Use the cadence you set above to iterate towards the goal
