PgM Coverage for Natalie Pinto from 2024-04-22 through 2024-04-30
Intent
This issue describes how broader group and team members are facilitating a Product Manager to take meaningful time away from work. The intent is that the PM isn't required to "catchup" before and after taking a well-deserved vacation.

AI Portfolio Management - there are open action items listed in this comment thread. @hbenson will track this next week and we will catch up when I'm back in office. -
NPI Duo Enterprise - @leework to lead meeting with stakeholders -
SKT - @justinfarris maybe just keep an eye on this. Eng looks like they have this one under control, but if things get out of hand or it starts expanding dramatically in scope try to bring some structure to the conversation. -
Q2 OKR Planning - @justinfarris I've asked PLT to get their OKRs settled by 4/26. I will check in on 5/1 and see if other action is needed and check with the CoS team on finalizing.
