It’s a behavior that makes staying there…difficult, and is one of the bigger reasons I’ve considered leaving. To be fair, some of the mandates make sense. As a product grows and expands into new markets, and let’s just say that new market is a heavily regulated industry, and let’s say those regulations have major implications to the product, it takes a C-level mandate to get all groups on the same page. While I understand it, it also puts product managers like myself in a difficult position. For now, I use it to structure my work between releases. But eventually it’s gonna raise my frustration at not meeting my existing customer’s needs to a level that I’ll need to work elsewhere.
