What I constantly hear from product managers though is, 'I am so busy, I don't have time to do the things that I need to do correctly. I'm so busy trying to line up customer interviews,' or, 'I'm so busy just trying to get data out of systems. I'm fighting these fights to get the things that I need to do my job correctly that I don't have time to do my job correctly.'

The conversation is about staffing ratios between product operations people and product managers.

If you are at a one-to-one ratio, you're doing it wrong. Absolutely.
