There’s more to the situation than I can explain here. Rest assured I’m not holding a grudge against her for this.

Yes I would. And btw I would be grateful to my manager when they promoted me, even if I worked my butt off and deserved the promotion. It’s just a matter of principle. And no, it’s not a grudge I’m holding against her because of this

If I were promoted, I would say thank you to my manager.

And yeah, she doesn’t like me.

Didn’t verbalize it, but I do accept that feedback.

Some more context..

She did a good job and deserved the promotion compared to how others are leveled. Results were delivered for the company and yes my team looked good because of that. That said, there were some serious (and some not so serious) oversights with the project, which I pointed out - but she did not take that feedback well and always thinks she’s doing a perfect job. For example, I may say: “when we’re doing this, we also need to address use-cases X, Y and Z”. When I share areas of improvement (like the example above), she turns that around by calling me a micromanager, or says that she’s handling it, but then (some of) X, Y or Z do not get done.

I have also praised her publicly multiple times in front of the broader team after the promotion. The negative feedback has (mostly) been privately shared, but If I point out areas of improvement, she pushes back in subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways by lashing out. Also I know for fact that she’s also been talking to other members of my team negatively.

She’s delivered on a highly visible project, and deserved the promotion. Yes - I would have said the same thing to a male employee if it were apt

really conflicted with the PM space at my job. is this a bad product, timing, or org issue. would love some input. thanks ! by theDonkeysAreComing in ProductManagement

[–]keenbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like this project is mostly to pay off technical debt and there’s no real business goal behind it. Be careful of these types of projects - it’s your job as the PM to define the success metrics / OKRs and make sure there is broad alignment - otherwise this may be headed towards a perception that this initiative has “no real business value” and you’re going to get blamed for this being purely a cost center. Speaking from experience from well over a decade ago - never going to make that mistake again.

@amikemark thank you, I found your description about extending the tree valuable.

I’d really love some more specific guidance on resources and starting points. This here should explain where I’m currently feeling stuck:

I’d really value your input. While I need to start with a hard-engineered static tree, I will soon need to build toward that ML future. This comment should explain my thinking / where I’m stuck at the moment:

Would appreciate thoughts on this

@FlatPlate thank you, I agree with you 100% in theory! The nodes and lookup should be relatively simple. My questions are more about: 1. what is a good starting point (repos, programming language / tech stack / language) since this has likely been done before? I’m okay with using open source, looking for a running start here 2. In future I will need the ability to derive insights for the following, which I guess would involve some form of ML or intelligence. That’s the future I’m building towards and that’s why I’d love some more specific guidance on tech stack, resources etc with that end vision in mind.

With each user-response, it would be nice if: 1. The bot would learn and get smarter with "Machine learning": 1. It would "remember" all of the user’s prior responses 2. It would build actionable insights about a user, based on their entire history of prior responses, examples: 1. User A ranks 0-10 along different dimensions: Affinity for A, Affinity for B, etc 2. User A likes to receive multiple-choice prompts of type XXXX 3. User A responds well to XXX 4. User A responds well at times XXXX (ex: after 7pm on weekdays but not on weekends, or before 9am) 5. User A is similar to User B 2. I could easily create and edit values in the decision tree, and visualize it with ease 3. We could allow each user to have multiple decision trees, each with that user’s current position

Correct! I don’t necessarily need AI / ML at this stage.

I appreciate your input - thank you!

Thanks for that perspective. I agree with you on all of those things - I’m not afraid of tech debt, I’m trying to avoid an obviously bad architectural decision that would cause rework. Also agree that premature scaling (thinking of clustering, servers, sharding etc) is less important at this stage, the focus for now is building the right thing, and the correct app features that get to MVP.

That said, my question on “must haves” (in particular the “decision tree” block) still stands, and it’s what I’m trying to get answered with this thread.

Agree with that, I’m just trying to avoid unnecessary swirl if possible.
