ADVICE

Effective Product Management

đź’¬ "...for product managers and the product function, what I think it sometimes when you see people that fall down on that function is because they treated too much like process..."

  • It's challenging to draw distinct lines between the roles of product managers, designers, and engineers. Each role needs some understanding of the others' domains.
  • Think of a product team as possessing a collective set of qualities.
  • Product managers can fail when they focus too much on process and not enough on the core problems they're trying to solve.
  • Effective product managers talk to users, have a strategy, and ideally, a strong point of view.
  • They also need to foster team cohesion and celebrate milestones to keep the team motivated.

Key takeaway: Successful product management balances process with a user-centric, strategic approach and a focus on team morale.
