Why this topic matters

You got promoted because you deliver. But if your week is still mostly Jira, standups, and writing requirements, you are doing the job of a delivery manager with a fancier title. Many PMs are in the same spot, executing a roadmap someone else wrote. You cannot wait for permission to think strategically. You must show it in the opportunities you have. This lesson shows you how.
