The biggest myth about Product Management is that it’s crudely described as project management required for the planning, production, marketing and other tasks related to the creation and distribution of a product. In the actual professional world, product management can be a complicated affair. With multiple dynamics and levers around product creation, its scale and its objective, the process, methodology and tools required throughout the lifecycle can change at any time. Any disruption could result in product failure. With consumer trends and product life-cycles changing rapidly, a product manager role keeps evolving. But the core of it is built on a set of hard skills and soft skills and these are the ones you need to inculcate!

  1. Data interpretation & data driven insights
  2. Strategic thinking to define company’s vision using deductive reasoning
  3. User experience and design
  4. Industry trends and customer KPIs
  5. Technical knowledge

Soft Skills

  2. Time management
  3. Stakeholder management
