Hello Bowl !

My academic background is in Management and IT. I have over 10 years of experience in IT. I'm certified PSPO, PSM, and PSK. Does that sound convincing to become a good Product Manager ?

I agree with the previous comment. You have the certifications, you now need to build experience. If in a current job, and if it's possible, work with your leadership to get a role on a project as a Product Manager. I would also suggest you get a mentor who is in Product Management to get some of the street education you may be lacking.

I would also suggest you look at non-Agile processes. You've got Scrum certs, but not everyone is using Agile or Kanban. I started out with OLP before adopting Agile for my software titles in my solutions portfolio. Being experienced in other development methodologies is a good second step.

Best of luck!!

There are many product managers who do not have half the certifications/exp as you. If you do not have exp as a PM yet, you can work on a use case on the side, that will give you the boost.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?
