The Product Manager’s Annual Report — a Poem
The Product Manager’s Annual Report — a Poem
A product manager observes his screen glow
As the winter nights continue to grow and grow
His mind fleeting and a flutter
What has been achieved this year? I ask
How is it unlike any other?
As the annual report begins to loom
A stark absence of accomplishment sucks inspiration from the room
But, not all is lost
A glimmer of hope begins to bloom
Though I may have achieved materially little
Perhaps there is more to glean from the gloom
“A wealth of experiences have I” I utter
“Learning from failure is the real teacher” I sputter
I take pause and stutter
Do I have the strength to identify progress from the gutter?
Surely there are lessons we can leverage for each other
The forms fill in and words from my keyboard flow
As the light of my laptop continues to glow and glow
