Tool for better 1:1's between EMs and SEs
We're EMs and engineers. We noticed that, as an EM, our friend typically spends 40% of his time conducting 1:1 meetings and creating professional development plans for his ICs, leaving less time for developing product and engineering roadmap. This got us thinking on how we can run more effective 1:1's and help EMs manage their teams better. We're reaching out for your feedback on an early prototype to understand if something like this would be useful for you too. Check out the loom video, and let us know if you're open to chat with us to share your perspective. https://www.loom.com/share/e85d0d242f334a7a9c4727d6f9f94562?sid=a9dd5a0d-30f0-4356-8d7e-3bf8d0648990 #ProductTalk #EngineeringManagement #ProductManagement #SoftwareEngineer #AI

This is a very nice tool! I recommend patenting it if you can. Then it’ll be easier to sell to Microsoft teams and slack etc. I imagine they’re already working on similar products though
Bruh, company not paying for tools like these in this market. Make it free.
Teams can already do all of this
This might be a solution looking for a problem. Google docs works just as well to capture 1:1 stuff. I don’t think a company will add a tool that doesn’t really help the business. They will use existing tooling to get this. If you see demand go for it, but I’m very skeptical.
Happy to chat Avin. I think I sent you a LinkedIn request.
i like the idea and how it can be helpful from an EM prospective to get insights in to the 1:1 conversations , but it might be a privacy issue to record these conversations without consent from both sides , any thoughts on it ? and also how this will work for the non-virtual 1:1s ?
this product had no future. the only sales you will get is if your uncle is a big decision maker at some f500 and decide to throw you a bone and be a customer and basically just give you free money even though it solves no problems at that company
I do think it is a good idea and solves a problem. But I am not sure about the optimal product to solve it.
No one I know would want this.
What is your tech stack? What is your business model? Companies won’t pay for having this tool, they are not interested in people’s career
