Our annual product management survey reveals that a typical product manager has three products to manage. The number of products per person tends to be higher in older companies but perhaps that's less a function of age and more a function of product revenue. Maybe the relevant comparison is revenue instead of products.

My friend Saeed at onProductManagement is running a survey to get some numbers on this issue. He writes,

After reading my article, “You can never have too many Product Managers“, the person asked me whether I knew of any published numbers that provide guidelines for the number of product managers a company should have relative to its revenue.

What do you think? Come offer your experiences to the survey. Saeed will post results on his web site soon.
