Product Manager With Three Streams and a 15-Minute Gap
You’re a PM managing three parallel streams:
- Stream A: Mobile app redesign
- Stream B: API platform revamp
- Stream C: Analytics dashboard MVP
You have a 15-minute gap between two meetings, and you want to move something forward.
Without TabStax
You open Slack, see 40 messages, start hunting for the Figma link, find an old version, get distracted by a Jira comment, lose the thread entirely.
With TabStax
You’ve set up:
- “PM – Mobile Redesign” Stax
- “PM – API Platform” Stax
- “PM – Analytics Dashboard” Stax
Each Stax contains:
- PRD or spec doc
- Figma designs
- Jira board filtered to that stream
- Key Slack channel
- Stakeholder comms
-
Start Page with:
- “Unblock design review”
- “Follow up with eng on API spec”
In 15 minutes:
- You open Mobile Redesign Stax.
- You see: Figma, PRD, and a note saying “Ask Sarah to confirm timeline for handoff.”
- You send the message, check Jira, move on.
You share each Stax with your cross-functional team:
- Designers, engineers, and stakeholders open the same world when they work on that stream.
Outcome: Every spare minute becomes usable. You’re not choosing between “figuring out what to work on” and “doing actual work.”
