No, it isn't. A PM should be having these conversations - briefly! - in front of the rest of the team in the standup, and in more depth in a weekly planning meeting.
If a PM feels a need for updates more often than that, then that is a problem of theirs that they should work in in their one-on-ones with their manager, not something they should dump on their team and then blog about.
It's sad that a PM at Pivotal has gone adrift like this, but it's tragic that this shitty advice has made it to the company's blog.
