What factors should you consider when building out a team and allocating products in portfolio?
I am restructuring my team of three and we look after a portfolio of 7 products (4 proactive, 3 reactive). I am the team lead and I have 2 more junio-mid level PMMs.

When establishing a Product Marketing Management (PMM) team, it is essential to consider the following factors:
The product's target audience and whether it addresses a single use case or caters to various audiences.
Whether in-depth technical knowledge is necessary to comprehend and promote the product effectively.
The organizational structure of the product management team.
The composition of the sales team or the absence thereof.
The current and prospective marketing functions within the organization.
The driving force behind the product's growth, whether it is propelled by sales, marketing, the product itself, or a combination of these factors, such as Product-Led Growth (PLG) or Sales-Led Growth (SLG) strategies.
