Peter Bogart-Johnson was one of Jane Street’s first program
managers, and helped bring the art of PMing—where that “P”
variously stands for “project,” “product,” or some blend of the
two—to the company at large. He’s also a poet and the editor of a
literary magazine. In this episode, Peter and Ron discuss the
challenge of gaining trust as an outsider: how do you teach teams
a new way of doing things while preserving what’s already
working? The key, Peter says, is you listen; a good PM is an
anthropologist. They also discuss how paying down technical debt
isn’t something you do instead of serving customers; what Jane
Street looks for in PM candidates; and how to help teams
coordinate in times of great change.
