Dream big, start small… I joined Forma as a product manager when there were ~150 people. For a series B startup of this size, it felt incredibly put together. We had a library of beautifully formatted Notion docs about “how to PM”, including a matrix that specifies PM levels and attributes. This is what we use to evaluate skills & competencies and talk about career advancement. One of the skills is “Dream big, start small”. On the one hand, you need to be visionary and ambitious in order to rally people behind a cause. On the other, you are asked to be pragmatic and experimental so that the team can move with speed and correct course in time.
