Product Managers, what does your day look like?

Curious to hear from PMs about their typical day. How do you balance different responsibilities? Any tips for effective time management as a PM?

Right question would be what’s your week looks like. In a day there are N number of things PMs do.

If I have to answer:

  • Start of the week is mostly about what we want to achieve as a team in a week. Setting expectations with other Product PIC and planning sprints.
  • Followups from last week in terms of roadmap plans, initiatives, design alignments.
  • Mid of the week is more about problem solving, executions.
  • End of the week is more about deriving action items for next week and revisions in priorities if any.
