Main takeaways:

  • Role of ‘Product Manager’ varies a lot depending on multiple factors. It’s important to be aware of this variation, especially as an early-career PM to be able to make the right decisions
  • There are common elements to a product role. There are (soft) skills you can improve on which will help you throughout your PM career. The best way to improve these skills is to find learning opportunities to refine these skills.
  • Product Management role is not-so-easy to fit in the dichotomy of good and bad, right or wrong. Product work is a multi-faceted decision-making process that doesn’t always have a clear winner.
  • The first rule of learning Product Management is doing Product Management. It’s not a job with an easy learning process. People from diverse backgrounds can and are encouraged to get into Product Management.
