What’s the best way to pivot from being a PM-focused PM to a strategic leader? I feel like my job right now is mostly ticket tracking and making sure things go smoothly in sprints, but I want to be involved in real decision-making. How do you break out of the “delivery PM” mold and get a seat at the strategy table?

Time in your role + tell your manager you want to sit in on strategy sessions. Once they can trust that you can get things done they'll be more likely to start letting you make small decisions.
