FAQ
What separates PMs who keep growing from those who plateau?
Deliberate practice. Plateaued PMs mistake accumulated experience for skill growth. Growing PMs pick specific weaknesses, work on them, and measure progress. Journaling, retros, and honest self-assessment compound into senior-level craft. Without that loop, 10 years of experience becomes 1 year repeated 10 times.
