Product Manager is a
very interesting role. PMs are responsible for managing the entire product
line. As a result, they focus on everything that touches the product. This pretty much involves the entire cross
functional teams such as engineering, QA, docs, support, sales, product
marketing, product analysts, compliance team, project management, operations,
process etc. Management and interaction
with this entire spectrum is important but you should not forget the basics.
Product Managers are
responsible for "defining and launching" products that meets the following criterion:
Customers
- Simple User Experience - DEFINE products that the end users can use and would continue to use
- Meets Customers Needs - DEFINE products that customers want to use
- Minimize Complexity - DELIVER products that customers can actually use
Organization
- Time to Market - MINIMIZE time to market
- Business & Product Objectives - MEET the KPIs you outline in the business case
Always maintain the
focus on the basics. You have to deliver value to the end users and maniacal focus on "core
product management basics" is very important
