Summary
A very descriptive text in slides delving into Product Management, mainly focusing on what it is, what leads to a product manager's nightmare, the difference between good and bad product managers, how we decide the product roadmap, and many more. If your interest is to understand the responsibilities of a product manager, how to deal with the chasm in product development, and why some products fail, take a look at these slides.
Takeaways
- Good product managers understand the market, product, and rivals and are eager to take full responsibility while bad product managers lack the required knowledge and make excuses when things fail.
- In a startup, the CEO is the Product Manager and pilots operations such as marketing, customer sales, growth and feedback, product development, and roadmap, among others.
- One of the reasons why most products slump is because of a lack of integration between marketing, sales, and product development.
- There should be a balance between the business and the engineering team regarding the product's customer needs to avoid product failures.
