You’ll find yourself working closely with UX and UI designers throughout your career as a Product Manager. While you won’t be expected to know everything about product design (otherwise you’d be a designer, right?) there are at least a couple of key things you should have a solid grasp on. The last thing you want to do when talking to a designer, is to use UX and UI interchangeably.

Empathy is a powerful word and even a more powerful feeling. It is also a word that is becoming more and more popular in the vocabulary of product and user experience designers. But, why? Before we get into why empathy is such an important concept when designing a product, it's vital to make it clear that this is only true when your focus is on what users need, instead of pushing products to the market.

Much of modern problems in software development have actually been solved and we keep forgetting this to our peril. Every day something pops up in a conversation, on one of our teams or on socials that can be addressed by a book from years and sometimes decades ago. I think of these as classic books on the fundamentals of software development. These books have provided the foundations and first principles to approach software development, and later, product development.
