Mind the Product

OCTOBER 9, 2018

Today, attention is our new currency. With endless distractions, how does anyone get anything done? For product managers leading the execution of a product, working with an inattentive, context-switching development team is a struggle. This is why developing strong influencing skills is crucial for product managers. While many articles provide advice on ways to influence, they do not explain how to influence quickly.

Here’s a fun party trick: next time you have the occasion to introduce a product manager, refer to them as a project manager. Then run! You’d better run because, for many product managers, these are fighting words. It’s not that they have anything particularly against this role.

One of the most difficult part of a product manager’s job is pricing. Too low and you don’t make enough money (or leave money on the table), too high, and the product fails to take off. Getting it just right is part alchemy, part luck, and often just a bit of a guess. There are […].

As Geoff said: …when the bookings are light, often product management is diverted to “fix” the problem.

Guest Post by: Julian Dunn (Mentee, Session 6, The Product Mentor) [Paired with Mentor, Vikas Batra]. I became a product manager because I wanted to take a more strategic role at my company. Two major obstacles stood in my way.

In today’s fiercely competitive age of product, efficient growth of engaged, happy users is the Holy Grail of product development. Growth can no longer be an afterthought or solely the responsibility of marketing. And as channels get saturated, ‘growth hacks’ no longer cut it. Your product has to be designed and built for growth from the foundation up.
