Nice post! Personally, I like to describe the output of a PM team, broadly, as Great Decisions. This goes a bit beyond just communication – it's the role of PMs to force great decisions to be made, in addition to communicating the output. This is also distinct from "Correct Decisions" since a pretty good decision right now might be better than the perfect one in a week.

Thank you, and great point — another way I've heard it said by a friend/mentor is that "80% of PM is prioritization and communication". Where prioritization basically means "making good decisions on what gets prioritized".

Yup, I agree with that characterization. I also think that this is why a lot of people feel like PMs do nothing. Ironically it most frequently appears that PM isn't doing much when things are going really well (effortless execution) or really badly ("wtf are all of these meetings?").

I like the blog a lot, my biz partner and I have been writing on similar topics (link in profile if you're interested). Look forward to reading more of your stuff!
