We’ve all seen the memes and heard the stereotypes. PMs think developers are difficult to manage, and developers think PMs don’t understand the technical work. But where does this friction actually come from, and more importantly, how do you fix it?
In this episode of PM Therapy, Mukhtar Kadiri sits down with Irina Lamarr, who has experienced both sides of the divide, as a developer and now as a project manager. Together, they unpack why misunderstandings between PMs and engineers happen, what each side gets wrong about the other, and how PMs can earn credibility and trust with technical teams.
🎯 What You'll Learn in This Series:
Why tension often exists between project managers and developers
What developers wish PMs would stop doing immediately
How PMs can lead and influence developers without deep technical expertise
Communication techniques that help PMs navigate technical discussions confidently
Practical ways to build trust and credibility with engineering teams
…and so much more!
