Further notes from session:

• Individual PM role is about getting product stuff done; Director is about making processes work
• Narrow funnel: most PMs will probably not get promoted into Director roles
• One option: diagonal move to manage a line organization (e.g. Tech Support or Field SE or Developer Relations) that may be hungry for management talent
• Understanding your boss's problems gives you the opportunity to provide solutions to her/his issues as well as yours
• VP role is about company-wide organizational alignment
