Q: As an engineering lead, I feel I should have a better working relationship with my PM. What are things I can do to work more efficiently with them?

Such an important topic. The highest performing and healthiest engineering teams I’ve worked on and observed all had a strong relationship between the engineering manager and product manager.

In this issue we cover:

  • The pillars of a strong product / engineering manager relationship.

  • Tactics for engineering managers to build a strong product relationship.

  • Engineers working well with product managers; a framework you can follow.
