Product management fundamentals: three core pillars

🎥 In this RocketBlocks video, our ex-Google Founder, Kenton Kivestu, breaks down the product management role into three fundamental pillars: execution, leadership, and product vision. This mini lesson is focused on abstracting away the details of roadmaps, bug triaging, experimentation, launching, etc. and focusing on a way to make sense of the operational chaos.

Product management = project management (agile and traditional) + business analysis + marketing or (external products) change management (internal products)

[@rocketblocks]

Certainly, product management encompasses a lot of what you've included there but I'm not sure adding them together as a formula is the right way to frame things. First, it implies that nothing else is included in the role (which isn't right). Second, it probably makes the job seem more mechanical than it really is... a lot of good product management requires figuring out where to dig in and isn't as simple as just doing project management or marketing, etc.

In addition to the 3 pillars discussed in the video, a Google PM would need to code on the job and also perform a coding interview
