Who Should See the Roadmap?

Half of the calls I get from CEOs include requests for Product Management to boost productivity in Engineering (aka Development aka Makers). This reflects confusion about what product managers do (and how we really add value), and often poor role definition where product managers are also project/program managers or engineering leads.

TL;DR A product manager leads the product management team and is responsible for overseeing all stages of the product development process.

I’ve asked friends who do the job at social events and got the same answer, and frequently asked members of my own teams, who struggled to find the time to do it. To compensate, I’ve seen UX researchers & designers pick up the mantle a lot more, and the design teams have really leaned into this space.

Adopting Agile sounds as simple as taking the SCRUM master certification tests and pushing them down the framework to a team of developers. Therefore, we went to sleep on a Friday and next Monday we were now an “Agile” team. What the middle management teams did to adopt such change was not an executive’s concern.

It's common practice for companies to use recruiters (either contractors or in-house) to help them keep up with industry trends and find qualified software developers. Nevertheless, the experiences that many software engineers have with most recruiters aren't that great. However, job recruiters have a bit of a bad rap.
