I worked with some excellent PMs in the past, it's an entirely different skillset. This wasn't really meant to replace what they do. I really wanted something with which to work at feature-level. That is, after all the hard work of figuring out _what_ to build has been done.

That's interesting. In every team I worked in, I always fought really hard against anyone but developers being able to write tickets on the board.
