  • The role of a product manager is crucial but also one of the least understood ones. In this video we define the supposed role of a product manager and how he is more than a data analyst. We take up questions like, is he someone who deals with the tech aspects of product, leading the team of engineers? Or does the product manager largely concern himself/herself with user experience, design or the overall business strategy?

    Intriguing isn't it? No wonder the role is difficult to understand for most. In this video, Ravijot Chugh, Co-Founder and Product Head at UpGrad, explains in detail the various responsibilities a Product Manager has, and that you need to work with the best of your calibre to be a good PM.
    If you want to bag one among the thousands of highly coveted openings for Product Managers between now and 2020 (only to grow exponentially even after), you need to start upgrading your existing skills and mastering these key skills. Product Managers are often referred to as mini-CEOs of the product. This is why, at tech companies, startups and large MNCs that are now diversifying, alike, the role of Product Managers is lucrative and one of the most important in the organization.

    PM Roles:
    #1. Understand Market (users & competitors) from data, surveys.
    #2. Build A Business Strategy
    #3. Design User Experience:
    - What do you want to achieve with this product/features?
    - Determining user flow to achieve the 'What'. Usually from this step onwards PM will be helped by UX Designer
    - Create prototype and Iterate
    #4. Product Development with engineers.
    #5. Product Delivery
    Making sure the product is built and shipped on time and is following the vision that has been set. PM as advocate of users.
    #6. Market the product.
    Sell the product that has been built. What is the advantage of your product?
    #7. Sustain Product Growth
    Based on feedbacks received.

    However I didn't really agree with the fairly sweeping generalisations about what the engineers will want to do, or assuming that you will build a culture where whipping them into delivering late at night is a good or acceptable thing - we should ensure that the planning is good enough to prevent that from happening.
    However - I appreciate your publishing this, glad I watched it!

    Nice video. Although a very important part of a PMs job is also to sustain and maintain the product. Enhancements to existing product features are also extremely important. And on the developer’s front, I believe the estimates come from them, and therefore if the PM needs to serve them coffee 4 days in a row, then the estimation & planning were crippled in the first place.

    But in CSPO training it was taught that in Agile environment there is no role called Product Manager. Product Owner is the ultimate decider of the product. So how do you answer this?

    • @AyushJain.YouTube
      @AyushJain.YouTube Před 5 lety +3

      If you want to understand how businesses work and great products are built, go with AIPMM - CPM. Agile CSPO is more on the execution side and not ideation. And to answer your question, PO is not the ultimate "decider" he is an "executioner" in the team, works with scrum master and scrum team and helps the PM build the backlog (and groom it). Ideation is done by PMs. POs typically report to Product Managers.
      PS: I am a PO and hence I know what I am talking about. I report to a Sr. PM for my product.

    • @RealCosmosry
      @RealCosmosry Před 4 lety

      UX designer is a 'designer'(very small part of complete "PRODUCT"), product manager does 'management'(OF THE WHOLE PRODUCT from idea/inception phase to the maintenance phase, full life cycle of product BUT DESIGNER ONLY WORKS IN ONE OF THOSE PHASES THEN BYE-BYE). Totally different domains. I suggest talk to your product manager(PM) when you work on a project then slowly learn the requirements of the job. Then you will know if you really wanna transition into this domain.
