Product managers are the bridge connecting users’ needs, market trends, and business objectives. They scout the horizon, identify problems, and chart the strategic course. However, when PMs dive deep into the tactical arena — into the nitty-gritty of Jira boards, task assignments, and tactical prioritizations — they often face disruptive context switching. It’s akin to repeatedly pulling a general from the war room into the frontlines.
As an EM, you can solicit regular feedback from team members to assess the risk and impact of blindspots and bottlenecks. This can be done through weekly 1:1s or by running a technical proficiency self-assessment survey. (We’ll explore key questions to ask during 1:1s in a future post.) And the bonus? By proactively addressing risks to your team's velocity, you not only ensure swifter execution but also foster a culture of continuous learning and alignment (more on that below).
