Product Managers come from all kinds of backgrounds. Those who want to pursue this path often stumble upon it by chance or discover it during their well-established careers. If you are one of those looking to make a conscious transition, there are a few things you must consider first!
Main Takeaways:
- You don't need to start in a given domain as the biggest expert in that domain - you just need to lead with curiosity.
- You can be effective by having good core PM skills and remaining focused on a key set of repeatable questions and processes focused on understanding the business space &, most crucially, who are the customers and what are their pain points and needs.
- You also have to start by understanding the organization you're moving into - especially who are the key domain experts to partner with early and what is the organization's understanding of Product Management.
