What strategies do you use to highlight your work to your manager?
As Product Managers, we're not individual contributors, so at times it feels like I’m merely sharing updates on team progress rather than showcasing my own impact.

Do you have a North Star KPI for your product?

Anything you release should have ongoing KPI’s that you can measure and show a change. They may not always go up, which is fine. But being able to say you released X, which had Y influence on your KPI is a key part of any PM role.

We are individual contributors. Your output just isn’t code. You should be playing a pivotal role in your teams success and them building effective features so lean into that. If you’re not actually at least part of the reason a teams succeeding then that’s a problem… but you should be!

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!

A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles.

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful
