Product management should be a core concept that is taught in any MBA, any general business degree, along with engineering and design programs. The “product mindset” is fundamental to success and it’s always learned on the job and often incorrectly leading to wasted opportunities

Big, potentially painful, question to ask yourself this week as a Product Person:
- Am I providing value, or getting in the way?
If the latter... how can you stop this? Speak to your teams, they can probably do the 'go-between' things themselves; then you can focus on value.

There's no such thing as a "highly trained PM"
People often ask "how do you get into Product?" Someone has to see your potential, bet on you and then you learn on the job.

PM journey.
Early on, you ask:
What is useful & usable?
You then learn to ask:
What are customers’ real needs?
Then see the importance of:
Who is the right customer?
Later, you obsess over:
How to differentiate?
Finally, your job is:
How to make this repeatable & replicable?

Be data-informed, rather than data-driven.
- Do you have enough data to be confident?
- If no, how hard would it be to get this data?
- How risky would it be to proceed without it?
You can learn through doing, as well as through data.

A lot of the above is critical to being a good PM or manager.
But even if team communication is not your explicit job, call it out when it isn’t working.
If you feel confused, hear inconsistencies, or feel time is being wasted talking rather than doing, speak up!

1/ When my co-founder and I worked together a decade ago, each PM in the org. was required to send a weekly e-mail update outlining P&L changes, upcoming roadmap initiatives, new feature launches, and weekly experiment results.

My favorite PM interview set:
1: Tell me about the highest-impact project you've done recently.
2: What were the goals, and how did you deliver on them?
3: If you replaced yourself with any other PM at the company, how would the outcome of the project have been different?
