Hey all,
Many of you may already know this, but I wanted to follow up on Kenan's departure
note and let everyone know the interim staffing plan for mobile web and apps.
We're going to have Maryana (at 100%) and DanG (at 50%) PM mobile web and apps. We
still need to figure out the details of who covers what (e.g., Maryana --> web, Dan
--> apps; vice versa; Maryana + DanG cover both as a team), but it will be some
combination of the two.
The plan right now is to have DanG work with mobile for about 3 months, and then go back
to Platform. Maryana is likely to stay with the team for ~6 months, but let's keep
this open as the timing may be influenced by when we can find Kenan's backfill.
Please note that Kenan's backfill is going to be a general PM role. As I mentioned to
the folks in the office, I'd like to move to a model where are of our PMs are part
mobile PMs.
We're targeting this coming Tuesday (4/29) for the handoff from Kenan to Maryana and
DanG. I'm hoping we can transition both mobile web and app product ownership on
Tuesday, but may need to do one first depending on how long the PM planning takes (e.g.,
bringing Maryana + DanG up to speed on backlogs, Maryana also needs to transition Flow to
DannyH).
Please let me know if you have any questions, or ping Kenan/Maryana/DanG.
Howie
