Project Manager III vs Senior PM? Anyone know an accurate difference that isn’t text book? I’ve interviewed at two different companies and I really don’t see a difference in the job descriptions.

How do I get started in Data Science, AI & ML? I’m an established Product Manager looking to get further into the Data Science and AI side of work. My background is in Tech Strategy, SQL, relational DB, data integration, but currently a growth PM focused on personalization. Bach in Comp Sci.
Masters? Courses? Books?
Effort, cost , and time are okay. Just want to ensure the ROI is there long term.

please suggest best books for program management and product management?

Also, if there's any short course which will be helpful?

What skills could I polish as an undergrad to greater my chances of becoming a product manager when I graduate? Any advice is welcome.

Looking for book recs, articles, product-related events, clubs, programs, LinkedIn connections...anything!

Hi Sharks,

I am a product owner and want to learn all aspects of product management and to transition as a product manager in leading Tech firms. I had completed my engineering and mba but never worked as a software engineer. I started my career in sales and am now working as a PO. So I lack technical knowledge as well. Can some experienced product manager guide me and PPL like me here on this fish bowl a step by step plan to achieve this goal. What courses we can join, what books to read

I am transitioning from a front-end PM to a back-end PM role in the cybersecurity industry, what books or resources should I read to prepare myself?

Male project manager and manager

PM tries to book me in for a piece of work with X customer for X day. This day did not suit my schedule. I told the PM and ccd my manager saying I’m already booked for 2 deadlines the same day

Manager chimes in next day I’m off - says do it anyway, get someone else to cover or tell customer deadlines will be pushed. Invites sent to the customers while I was on leave confirming I’ll be available

Anyone else feel like their time is being undermined? 😑

Can we switch from business analyst to product manager role. Can any senior product manager guide us on the transition step by step. I guess it will help a lot of BAs who are looking to transition to product manager role. Also is there any course of books we need to read. Do comment. Thanks in advance

Hi Guys Inhave two questions regarding Cab service at Gurgaon office. The transport team is not answering my email so asking here.

1) If my roster in routematic has logout time as 5 pm and due to some immediate client meetings I may have to leave late then how do I reschedule the cab timings to maybe 7 pm or 9 pm ? What is the cutoff time for the same?

2) If I book a ride using uber business then how do I get that money reimbursed ?

Hi I’m in bizops right now, entry level talent, and recently asked if I could moonlight work from the Product Manager I work with. They said yes and will let me own something small. Do you have any tips for what I can do ahead of this to make sure I do a good job? I’m hoping to have 2 takeaways from this: 1.) see if I am interested in doing PM full time, and 2.) see if I can get pulled into PM internally. Thanks! So far I have ordered a couple PM books and have been watching PM videos.
