On: Revenue Is Product Management [audio]

[rock_hard]

I think Product Managements responsibility’s are fairly straightforward:

1. Figure out a what success means for your venture 2. Come up with a strategy that leads to said success 3. Get your team to execute on that strategy (and never forget that you can be wrong about the strategy, but you can’t fuck up the execution...since otherwise you will never find out if the strategy works)

Now implementing this is far less straightforward...

None of that is specific to product management as opposed to management in general.

The difference being that as a PM you have to do it without organizational power over anyone on your team...very much unlike a classic manager!
