Presentation: What is Product Management?
I recently gave this presentation on product management at LinkedIn that I thought was worth sharing more broadly.
Product management in my mind boils down to owning the vision, design, and execution of your product. I start the presentation by detailing what it means to own each of these areas of your product and their associated key responsibilities.
But to be a truly great product manager you must go beyond excelling at each of these functional responsibilities. To help illuminate this, I then share some of the most important product management attributes I’ve learned from key luminaries in product development here in the valley, including Jack Dorsey, David Kelley, and Eric Ries.
My views on product management have continued to be refined by the experiences I’ve had to work with exceptional leaders here at LinkedIn. And so I end the presentation specifically calling out lessons I’ve learned at LinkedIn on product management from key leaders including Elliot Shmukler, David Henke, and Jeff Weiner.
Whenever you're ready, here are 3 ways I can help:
- AI Productivity: Learn how leading product managers use AI to become faster, smarter, and gain super powers beyond their traditional role.
- Mastering Product Management: Accelerate your product career by learning rigorous frameworks for each PM deliverable, from crafting a strategy to prioritizing a roadmap.
- Product Innovation Strategy: Building a new product? Learn how to leverage the Deliberate Startup methodology, a modern approach to finding product/market fit.
