I'd take this further -- I think finding good PM's is harder than finding good dev's. I'm not sure why exactly. I bet you'd find a lot of dev's who think their PM does the opposite of their job (that is, creates more work for them).
- awakeasleep 11y agoBeacuse you can't judge a PM's work as easily in an interview. For all the difficulty we have hiring people to write code, either your fiz buzzes or it doesn't. A long term bad-quality PM knows the vernacular and can talk a good game. And thats all you have, really. Not even that fizz buzz level of pass or fail
- luckydata 11y agoProduct managers's job is not to reduce work for developers (it could be a nice side effect), is to help avoid building unnecessary things and build the right things without waste as much as possible. PMs end up doing a lot of stuff that's not necessarily their job to keep the wheels turning, and it's the right attitude to a degree (sometimes it allows dangerous sloppiness to survive past its due date) but the job you have in mind should be performed by a good QA person.
