The pressure for product managers to demonstrate direct P&L impact has never been greater in this economic climate. We're now expected to be as fluent in financial forecasting and cost-benefit analysis as we are in user story mapping. Is this shift towards a "profitability PM" a healthy evolution of the role, or does it distract us from focusing on genuine user value?

You think this is bad?

As Product Manager, I was my own HR, Software Procurement Lawyer, Chief Technology Strategist, Network Infrastructure Manager, Cyber-security Risk Analyst, Governance Lead, Digital Transformation Lead, Network Infrastructure Manager, Program Manager, Project Manager of some projects within my own Programme + all of the roles covered within Product Management and responsible for P&L impact of my product portfolio.

It nearly killed me but it did get me ready for that director position so there were eventually some up sides after much patience.

Hope the same or similar eventually happens for you.
