Once a month: A product leadership allhands

Once every 2 weeks: Optional Product Lunch & Learns

Optional opportunity for a product, design, PMM leader to share a best practice, a new idea, an industry trend, new cultural values, etc with whoever wants to attend. Informal, lunch-time slot that anyone can fill if they have something compelling to say to the group.

Every PM (and maybe Design/Eng leads) in a group, meeting with the GPM, GDL, GEM to discuss business updates, group updates, perf cycles, planning cycles, where everyone’s at, any blockers, and what everyone’s up to in the coming week.

Every week or 2 weeks: 1:1 with their immediate manager - typically the GPM

Chance to discuss any blockers, escalations etc. Also an opportunity to discuss career goals, performance etc. Tends to be less about the work and more about the individual. There might occasionally be "skip-level" meetings with their managers, manager.

Every week: Squad level meeting

Throughout the week - Ad-hoc: Stakeholder workshops

PM meeting with whomever they need to meet with to get answers to their questions, flesh out their PRD, and drive alignment about an upcoming release. This can include…

Cross-squad coordination meetings to discuss with other PMs, Designers, EMs, etc any requirements/changes that might be needed from the parts of the product they shepherd
Deep-dive workshop meetings with sales, support, ops, etc to dig into key details for the next release (likely uncovered during the cross-functional syncs)
Meetings with the lead engineers for a given release to discuss scoping, technical details and ultimately handing off the PRD for technical planning
Meetings with designers to design screens and brainstorm on UX
