A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles. I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.

I definitely hear of more Product Managers than Product Owners in this industry.

I honestly don't even understand the difference. Don't they do the exact same job?

Or possibly organizations that have never had PMs, but are going through agile transformations and now need a PO because that is a role on a scrum team.

This sounds right, but I would discount the PM process
