A day in the life

As the PPM-T on Campaign Manager you might start one of your days by glancing at your dashboards, to understand what customers are using and identify areas for a deeper dive later.

You would note this data for use in a later "Weekly Business Review" meeting, where you'll walk senior leaders through your KPIs and explain how your strategic engineering investments are driving results.

You might next meet with your team, helping go through Sprint Planning and celebrating key accomplishments. By identifying patterns of long-term investment and short-term win, you'll guide your teams to higher impact.

You might then join a recurring partner forum, where you meet with key internal development leaders and review how they are integrating with your tools.

Writing documents is a big part of an Amazonian's job, and as the PPM-T you might spend part of your day working on your 3 Year Plan, asking yourself, 'what do I know about my customers this year that I didn't know last year,' among other key questions.
