after a long history in the dev field I decided to help my company as a Product Manager (I also own a company that produces a "real" product, so I have some hands on experience too).
The transition is taking too long so I'm still having duties from other roles (Tech Architect/Leader and another one).
Which leads me to managing a quite diverse group of people and having different key referrals that I need to update.
Meetings and calls work fine (with a doc recap at the end), but I also do think that it would be best to find a tool that allowed the stakeholder/pm/whatever to check in a project status only when they need to, so I could save some of their time.
Mail is not organized enough and we lose track of the history, a simple google doc might work but I'm not sure it will be efficient.
What works for you?
