    People shit on PMs, but it’s genuinely useful to have someone coordinate breaking down a huge project into manageable chunks and keep on people to make sure they get their chunks done.

      I guess a lot of shit on PMs happens because not every PM is actually doing their job. Asking ‘what’s the status’ every morning is surprisingly not enough
