Ah, the eternal question. What does a PM actually do?

Well, most people think it’s the easiest job in the world — after all, you just tell everyone else what to do, right?

Sure, if you also enjoy being the middle child in a family of stress-addicted workaholics with a taste for crises.

In the last decade or so, I’ve worked in everything from Fortune 500 companies (you know, those lovely corporate havens where everyone’s too busy pretending to be productive) to fast-moving startups (where the idea of “sleep” is a myth).
