Product manager is unrelated to project management. Knowing customer needs, wants and values is key to product management. Understanding channels and their motivations is required for getting the product ro market. Then full understanding of technical tradeoffs and timing to address those needs through the channels while ensuring your competitors are held at bay is critical.

I don’t really do much project management. I make sure I understand exactly what needs to get built and then focus on communicating it very clearly to the tech PM and project managers so they can work with engineering to estimate effort. I look at places where we are spending a lot of time working around technical debt and get the leadership and engineering buy-in to invest time in a project to help solve it. I make recommendations on features to trim from the roadmap or look for areas where work can be moved to a different project because there’s more synergy. I may catch up with engineers to see if there’s ideas that need business support and can be turned into a new product or feature. I collaborate with other product managers to understand how we can continue splitting our products into micro-services

URGENT SUGGESTION REQUIRED Hi all, Tomorrow being my LWD, I got a call from my project head and unit head together stating that they are ready to retain me with 100% hike, and give A band if I take my resignation back. Issue is they saying they can't give it in written about hike. P.S. before 3months itself I was told that I will be retained, but few weeks back HR informed me to continue with exit formalities as corporate team is not considering any retention cases. Now... (Continued in comment)

Hiya folks I’m a mid weight cw, recently gone over to the client side for the promised land (work-life balance) and am very pleased with the decision I made. However I have a lot more free-time now and am not sure what to do with my free-time ... I miss my former AD partner and the collaborative aspect of working at an agency. Any ADs or even CWs would like to connect and collaborate on side projects or just creative random fun stuff together? 🥺 👉🏼 👈🏼

How do you all avoid constantly checking the portfolios you actively manage for yourselves? I’m a long term investor on paper, but I check the returns intraday as much as I check on my fantasy football team, and it’s clearly irrelevant day to day as I’m not touching the $ soon anyway...essentially I’m addicted...

I’ve asked this in another bowl but I’m going to ask it here as well. I need to bill 8 hours to either project work or BD every day. The problem is that often times I won’t have enough work to do and won’t be able to allocate 8 hours on my time sheet. It’s been causing me a lot of stress and I’m not sure what to do! Advice?
