Task managers aren't built for ICs

FYI, I have no idea what "IC" means here. It is not explained or expanded anywhere...

As I was reading, I thought it could be "independent creator" or "individual creator"... but at the very end it mentions "your PM" which does not really mesh will with this definition.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

IC means “individual contributor” here, like an engineer that doesn’t manage a team.

What is IC?

"Individual contributor", i.e. not a manager
