Working with Developers
1. Bring data, research and logic.

2. Show them the bigger picture and how their work contributes.

3. You are responsible for what and why, not how.

4. Give them problems: You’ll mostly end up with a better solution and

a committed developer.

5. Go well with engineering leads/engineering managers.

Creating Slack Integrations Marketplace
- Why: Company focus on retention. Critical customer problem to solve.

- What: Integrations marketplace, where any one can add a slack extension. (Create

PRD here)

- How: Technology used, System architecture, Non functional requirements.

- When: When can we ship the feature? Should we go with MVP first?

- Who: Which engineers will work upon this?


As a PM you can help EMs by
- Building a compelling roadmap

- Well defined priorities

- MVP definition for quick shipping


As a EM you can help PMs by
- Create a highly predictable development process

- Drive technical vision and limit tech debt

- Make sure the engineering team is connected to the bigger picture
