Build Your PM Working Manual

Most teams spend months figuring out how someone works. This template cuts that to a single document. The PM ReadMe is a personal working manual covering your values, communication style, decision-making approach, and known quirks — written in your voice, shared on day one. For new PMs joining a team, recently promoted PMs stepping into new relationships, and anyone who has ever wondered why a teammate seems frustrated with them. What's inside: a ReadMe Builder workbook with 18 prompt-driven sections, a pre-formatted shareable document, a Kanban board to track what's draft vs. ready to share, a calendar to track working agreement review dates, and a 7-step task that walks you from blank page to shared document. The ReadMe compounds in value. You share it with your first teammate, make a working agreement, revisit it at 90 days, and log a new version. Built for product managers who want to accelerate trust-building without performing it.
