Expectations of PMs
links’ definition of project manager: someone who manages resources (i.e. time, money, effort) towards some goal
- implication: you have to articulate the goal
- implication: for best results, make best use of resources towards goal
Â
At Bounty Board, we have SHARED resources
- i.e. devs, BANK, and time is all shared between projects, so project managers are expected to articulate and convince people WHY they are the best project to get resources
Â
PM in a nutshell:
- Understand/articulate the goal - write down objectives and required information
- Set up a cadence of accountability - i.e. a weekly meeting where you do the following:
- review the work done (or not done) the previous week
- align on priorities/blockers/next steps
- commit to some tasks for the following week
- Use the cadence you set above to iterate towards the goal
Check out the following articles for more info on how this works:
Â
Project manager responsibilities vary by the type of organization they are in…
- large organizations typically have project managers doing TACTICAL work like noting and accounting for resources (i.e. spring planning)
- smaller organizations need PMs to fill in the gaps (aka be problem solvers)
- i.e. why isn’t the team moving towards the goal?
- is it an alignment issue? then book a meeting or create a spect to align people
- is information missing? then do research or create a prototype/test to get the missing info
- at Bounty Board, we need Problem-Solver PMs
Â
You’ll have autonomy to get the job done
- you will be assigned a project, and you’ll be expected to coordinate/gather the resources you need to meet the goals
- you can ask links for help at any time, you can request BANK from Bounty Board team to get external help, you can request effort from Bounty Board devs
- but it’s YOUR show, so figure out the path for yourself (that’s the fun part)

Bounty Board Project Background
Bounty Board is one of the oldest projects at the DAO
- established in S1, Championed by Icedcool
- mainly stacked with devs, UX and product strategy has been a weakness
- links has been a major blocked later (on all projects listed below)
- current strategy centers around…
- exploring talent sourcing use cases (sell what we have now)
- building to unlock microbounty use cases (figure out the next use case)
- ACTION: BB-PMs to Read the Notion page (especially the Product Links documents): Bounty Board Project Page
