From The Best Product Person of 2016, Chris Butler, …
Looking Forward
> What trends do you see in product management? positive trends? any negative trends?
Agile and lean organization product managers are getting good at dealing with ambiguity and are open to unknown situations. This still isn’t the whole of product roles however. I think as a product needs to exist in the community of the world this is just going to be a bigger and bigger part of the daily job. Old command and control systems will be less and less likely to work.
This a very good thing, but there will be a lot of pain for people that expect things to go as planned or the way they want them to. Those people will fail.
More to Come
