A product manager is expected to view things from a business point of view. To identify features for the product and help it succeed in the market.
A project manager is in charge of planing, execution and governance of a project. They don’t define any of the goals or vision.
Saying product is a large project is a big over simplification. If we go that route anything could be called a “large project”.

This sounds like if you were trying to hire a race-car driver instead hired two people, and put one of them in charge of steering to the left and the other in charge of steering to the right.
- lazystar 3y agothis is exactly why back-to-office initiatives have value - it's easier to coordinate when the steerers are next to each other
- IanCal 3y agoNavigating and driving the car are two very obviously distinct tasks that regular people and rally drivers split up.
