What Is Product Management

Your job as a PM is to deliver business impact by marshaling the resources of your team to identify and solve the most impactful customer problems.

The three core jobs of a product manager

-Shape the product: Harness insights from customers, stakeholders, and data to prioritize and build a product that will have the most impact on the business.

-Ship the product: Ship high-quality product on time and free of surprises.

-Synchronize the people: Align all stakeholders around one vision, strategy, goal, roadmap, and timeline to avoid wasted time and effort.

To paraphrase Andy Grove, a product manager’s output = the output of their team.
