Something about this is disturbing. Overwhelmed PMs are usually a sign of a larger structural issue regarding executive leadership or directionality. An app helps somewhat increase the volume of things that can be processed in such a rudderless structure is only going to compound the issue. In an organization where PMs aren't overwhelmed, this isn't going to be an issue.

Creating software to solve organizational problems is a dangerously seductive illusion. At worst, it could be used as a surface level token fix to allow leadership to wash their hands of addressing a hard problem.

If an app helps a PM profess more feedback in the same time (efficiency), and helps a PM process more feedback than they otherwise would have because previously they forgot it (effectiveness), then that PM will be performing better.

It might help some PMs that were overwhelmed to no longer be overwhelmed.

interesting perspective the overwhelmed PM is one instance of the bombardment with questions and requests from multiple sources. this will not fix organizational issues but it should assist knowledge workers with staying on top of things to be done
