Want to save your organisation £££ thousands of pounds a year? Listen on...

So I'm constantly moaning that product managers are useless. The only counterargument to this is "but developers can't talk to people 😭"

Taxi drivers are great at talking to people. The average taxi driver gets paid £28k a year. The average product manager... £55k.

REPLACE PRODUCT MANAGERS WITH TAXI DRIVERS.

There are some not so good product managers but there are some extremely talented ones.

The PMs who were once BAs and think like BAs but are also good at keeping people onside, making decisions, building key relationships and strategic thinking excel in this role.

The ones that just want to manage people and do as little of the ‘grunt work’ aren’t as useful.

I wouldn’t put them all in the same bracket.

Black cabs are uncomfortable though. Uber black is great but don’t expect a good conversation
