Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... Product Mastery Now with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode:  In this episode, I share insights on developing essential skills for product management and leadership. I explain how mastering the seven knowledge areas of product management outlined by the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) can help product managers elevate their careers and create products that customers love. I explore the key objectives and challenges faced by product managers and offer both easy-to-implement and harder-to-implement takeaways to enhance product management practices. By focusing on customer-centric product development, strategic alignment, portfolio management, project selection, and product life cycle management, product managers can sharpen their skills and drive successful product innovation.
