What are better labels in your mind?
Product Management is much more than "gets things done but doesn't have direct reports".
If you've worked with great PM's and been a part of A+ product teams, you would see that the set of responsibilities is actually much more meaningful.
- dpeck 9y agoIm not sure there is a better label, but I don't think that that makes it any less odd because I can't come up with one :) Looking at past episodes of this OP podcast (https://www.thisisproductmanagement.com/episodes/ https://www.thisisproductmanagement.com/episodes/) the following are, amongst others, aspects of product management: R&D Building Human Machines Employee Experience Building APIs Consulting Pricing Customer Experience Venture Capital Now I don't disagree with that at all, and have been involved with those things and many more, but at some point the definition becomes overly broad as to not mean anything outside of a specific organization being referenced.
- jeffmorrisjr 9y agoFair enough. I'd say the titles are probably more indicative of the podcast wanting to have a diverse set of interviews. The Product Management role is much more focused than that, promise.
- rock_hard 9y agoI think Product Managements responsibility’s are fairly straightforward: 1. Figure out a what success means for your venture 2. Come up with a strategy that leads to said success 3. Get your team to execute on that strategy (and never forget that you can be wrong about the strategy, but you can’t fuck up the execution...since otherwise you will never find out if the strategy works) Now implementing this is far less straightforward...
