Day 15/30: The Superpower of Product Managers 🌟
My take on product professionals' unique value proposition
To spice things up, I’ll share my take on this prompt with a series of similes.
Great product managers can be…
Like a sponge, who are always learning, and absorbing and processing new evidence to continually support decisions about the product;
Like a system of pipes, who is a super-connector between individuals, teams, ideas, and evidence;
Like a chameleon, who adapts to the people around them, the situation context they’re in, and what’s needed in the moment;
Like a point guard on a basketball team, who facilitates the optimal chances of creating a product that resonates with its intended audience and grows then sustains the business through their product area of responsibility; or
Like a conductor (or at least a section leader) in an orchestra.
