Nah, PM stands for Project Manager, the person who coordinates & manages a project to make sure it happens on time and on budget.

It's also used to mean product manager. OP should've spelled this out to get better answers.

A PM is what companies used to call a business analyst. These days companies inflate titles so everybody has manager in their title.

Except that project manager makes way more sense than business analyst when you're managing projects.

Business analyst is a different role.

Project, Product or Programme Manager most likely.
