“What is the difference between a Product Owner and a Product Manager?”. Honestly, I did very little of what I teach as Product Management now either. I wasn’t called a Product Manager until I bailed out of that and landed in a startup. I liked this name. I rarely thought about it after that.

Its one thing to iterate on an existing product. Its a whole other challenge to identify brand-new products to offer. The same is true for API products. They still exist, even when your product is an API. And just because APIs are slightly more technical products, that doesnt mean that you cant apply discovery to them.

Myth #1: The product owner must ensure that the stakeholders are satisfied. But the value a product creates is ultimately determined by its users: No product will be successful in the long run if it does not solve a specific user problem, create a tangible benefit, or help the users achieve a specific goal.
