Thanks for your reply! I mostly agree. Saturating peoples time in a small team is usually quite easy though :).

How do you manage oversight over the different PMs at your company? Someone has to split development resources among the stakeholders and their requirements, no?

The PMs meet weekly to figure out resource allocation. Developers and designers mostly work in "pods" assigned to an area of the business (or a metric) for a few months so that they aren't shifting a lot, and so most of the resource allocation happens at that level rather than at the weekly level. We've only recently got to the size where that made sense though, while smaller we definitely needed to be able to shift dev time around more with more granularity.
