Comment on Finding a Tech Job Is Still a Nightmare
chakan2@lemmy.world 1 year agoOf the 30-50 PMs I’ve worked with in my career, I’ve had 2 actively contribute to the success of my team’s work. I’ve had a handful scuttle projects because they couldn’t manage the clients, the rest just kind of hung out and collected a massive paycheck.
The highest performing teams I’ve been on had the lead developer play that role.
The role is vital, the PM it’s self is not.

Completely agreed that the role is vital. For me, my PM is a life saver as my workload is simply too much to also handle PM duties.
That’s said, I also agree that there are many useless PMs. But a good one is worth their weight in gold.

Heh…if your workload is that intense, then you probably have a bad PM.
