The key thing for messaging frameworks that are shared with your org is know your audience. As PMMs, we are often creating different messages for different audiences. When you share your framework, be clear on how to use the messaging, and for whom the messaging is created for.  i.e. Whenev......Read More

I love telling a good story...: Background: For internal stakeholders, you really have to set context/background. We are in the weeds with planning day to day for a specific launch or initiative, but you can't expect internal stakeholders to be the same. To help drive messaging home, set the r......Read More

Stakeholder Management Milestone Meetings: I often share roadmap/GTM plans at key meetings like Sales Management meetings, CS team meetings etc. So that it shows you have a plan and are top of the launch.

Be thoughtful and get to know them (processes, workflows, areas of focus, etc.) Often it can be jarring as a new PMM to go straight to providing (sometimes unwarranted) feedback to your PMs, Designers, Engs.

A RESOUNDING YES! (And by dippin your toes, I mean understanding their function and collaborating - not try to run their show.

Great question!  In my experience, we work with SE to help them understand what's coming down the roadmap (big initiatives, product launches etc.) so they can plan and schedule training accordingly. Having a really tight relationship is critical so both sides have visibility into the needs of ......Read More
