The product manager should also be doing some Kano Modeling and figuring out the ROI on features. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kano_model

They should also own the metrics dashboard. They should now exactly which features are driving which stage of the sales pipeline. http://500hats.typepad.com/500blogs/2007/09/startup-metrics....

That's the kind of stuff you can do once you reach break even point. If you concentrate on such things early on you work on the wrong stuff.

I find the Kano useful even pre-breakeven, but most (good) PMs probably have an intuitive sense of where their products/features without doing a formal assessment
