| ### Lesson | ||
|
|
||
| Go through the slides given in material section to get an idea about Product Management. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Product Management | ||
|
|
||
| Product management can be defined as the general business structure within a company that supports and manages all the activities related to developing, planning, forecasting, marketing and selling a product all through its lifecycle. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Job of Product Manager | ||
|
|
||
| Product managers are the official translators within a company, helping commercial teams understand what | ||
| the technical, engineering teams mean and vice-versa. | ||
|
|
||
| Responsibilities that a product manager usually takes are : | ||
| - User/market research and analysis | ||
| - Create a solid Product strategy | ||
| - Learn to prioritize and re-prioritize various work threads. | ||
| - Create a product and feature roadmap. | ||
| - Know how to make a product stable and scalable. | ||
| - Communicate effectively with Designers, Customers, Engineers and clients. | ||
|
|
||
| The Role of a PM may change depending on type of product and the company stage, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Qualities of PM: | ||
| - Strategic thinker | ||
| - Passion for products | ||
| - Empathizes with the customer | ||
| - Aspires to build great user experiences | ||
| - Collaborative leader | ||
| - Proper Planning and Execution | ||
|
|
||
| ### Common Mistakes / Misconceptions | ||
|
|
||
| - Overlook the feedback from customers. | ||
| - Tool are important for a PM. But if a PM uses too many tools it will waste both time and efforts. | ||
| - Build a Product according to current situation, not future needs. | ||
| - Fall in love with the problem, not the solution. The problem is the root of everything. If your product doesn’t solve any problems it’s useless. | ||
|
