What do you think are the most valuable product meetings and processes that help drive the pulse of an organization? Context: recently joined a Series B org, B2B enterprise and it feels some of the "helpful process" is missing. One PM recently said to me that it feels like the company sets big company level goals at the beginning of the year. Team's have a roadmap "but there's nothing in between that setup and end of year results". I have lots of ideas but interested in yours (the community)!

From my understanding of your question, Periodic meetings with your direct manager/ceo and key stackholder is crucial. It will keep you alined with the company and product goals. You will have the vision on your strategy from business and product perspectives.

You must convince the executive team to agree on a product vision and a product strategy. When you have agreement, you can draft a roadmap that supports the strategy. As you execute on the roadmap, you are validating every three months with the executive team to ensure the product and the company are headed in the desired direction, i.e., the business plan objectives are being met or exceeded every quarter. No roadmap should change if product strategy or business plan changes unless all executives agree to swap one project for another that would yield the desired results faster than planned. Your job would be to keep the organization disciplined through maniacal focus.
