“I am swamped with work” is a common answer if you ask your Product Manager on how things are going. The Product Focus 2021 edition of the „Product Management Industry Survey“ reported that product managers spend a shocking 52% of their time with „unplanned ‘firefighting’ activities“.
I’ve been there too and I have been there too many times. The root cause for this is that many Product Managers often play a central and crucial role in their organization. Rising complexity, volatility and uncertainty inside and outside the organization require high resilience and ruthless prioritization.
