Coordinating Development: Coordinate daily with the relevant teams such as development, design and marketing teams.Communicating Plans: Communicatre vison and roadmap, status reports on product progres, sprint reviews.Developing Strategy: Creating a Product Roadmap and defining Metrics.Research: User Research, Data Analysis, Competitors.Product management processes usually consist of: Product management is an organizational function that guides every step of a product’s lifecycle: from development to positioning and pricing, by focusing on the product and its customers first and foremost. Let me explain the key differences between product vs project… What is Product vs Project Management? We don’t have the authority like a project manager but need to use influence to achieve outcomes. This ability to communicate a vision of ensuring everyone gets a present on Christmas eve and then influence others to follow him is what product owner has to do. He was happy with delivering 99.9999% of presents on Christmas eve as it was considered objective complete with an expected defect rate.Īrthur wasn’t he cares about their customers. It’s not about the user for him, more the delivery. Then you have his brother with the military type approach who cares about efficiencies and delivering on time within budget. He is willing to do out of his way to ensure the little girl gets her present on Christmas eve and has convinced an elf to help him. He is the customer advocate and will do everything to please them. If you have watched Arthur Christmas, think Arthur as the Product Manager who cares about delivering the right thing to every customer. Arthur Christmas epitomise the perfect Product Manager The product manager is the customer advocate in a company. They need to be able to understand the customer’s emotion, wants and needs to deliver a great product. Empathy is the secret sauce to a fantastic product person. I think project managers have the potential to be great product people but if they lack empathy it’s not going to be a good fit. I personally feel all product people should get project management training to some degree because there is so much going on at the one time they need to be excellent communicators and very organized.
There are a lot of crossovers between both roles and it can be a fine balance working on teams that have both positions in place. Also, have completed certifications (PMP, PMI-ACP, Scrum Master, Product Owner) in both domains gives me a unique perspective. Having worked as a Product Owner and Agile Project Manager in different companies from large to medium size. A decision to follow my passion or the money.īoth have great opportunities and bring their own challenges. Throughout my career, I have struggled to understand product manager vs project manager salary and the career path.
