As a PM, how do you work with your engineering team?

As a Product Manager, I foster a collaborative partnership with the engineering team. My role involves clearly defining the product vision and strategy, translating user needs into actionable requirements, and prioritizing the roadmap. I work closely with engineers to ensure they understand the 'why' behind each feature, facilitating open communication and providing the necessary context. Regular check-ins, sprint planning, and retrospectives are key to aligning on timelines, identifying and removing blockers, and continuously improving our development process. My goal is to empower the engineering team by providing them with clear direction and support, enabling them to build the best possible product.
