One question: do you treat a internal platform product (like DevEx) as a product, with PM senior roles as important part of it?
In which part of the organization should they live? Pros and Cons for putting it in Eng, but I often see Eng. Leads struggling a lot with a setup outside ProductOrg.
I think it very much has to do with whether the leaders of eng, PM, and design see themselves as a single team (e.g., the identity is with overall R&D, not product vs. eng)
Thanks John, so many helpful ideas and reminders!
Thanks Arne!
Solid write-up.
Naming the things/concepts properly is so so helpful.
Great article.
