- valuearb 9y agoThose are two widely different roles in terms of day to day responsibilities and skill sets, which points to a very bad organizational structure.

- rangersanger 9y agoDepends on the context. Also, it was a smaller organization, gotta make due. We frequently delivered on time and on budget, so, I don't think we lost much with that structure.
- valuearb 9y agoI've worked in less than 10 person companies that split that role for a reason, it leads to far more effective development and better products. A project manager's key role is to save money on developers. It's a hugely cost efficient role when done well. A product manager's job is to ensure the product meets customer needs/requirements. Having them do menial tasks to remove roadblocks for developers is totally orthogonal to their most important tasks.
