Most futile tech role
Company can function smoothly without them (little to no issues)
What's the difference between a product manager and a program manager?
Salary
Imagine you are building a castle. The Product Manager is like the person who decides what kind of castle to build, what color it should be, and what features it should have, like a drawbridge or a tower. They make sure the castle is something people will like and use.
The Program Manager is like the person who makes sure all the different pieces you need to build the castle are in the right place at the right time. They make a plan to get all the pieces you need and make sure everyone who is helping you build the castle knows what to do and when to do it.
the Product Manager decides what to build, and the Program Manager makes sure it gets built the right way, with the right people and materials.
LOL I am hurt that product manager is the top choice right now. I thought we are important
If we can write a bot which writes P0 in front of some random tasks and adds ASAP to emails, we can basically automate PMs.
Meanwhile marketeers reading this post going phewwwwww seeing PMs getting shat upon
As someone who worked in tech marketing i can't believe we are so close to sales teams in this poll...lol. Sales teams bring more value i feel
@OilyShawl86 sales team are the OG grind it out value bringers 🫡
Regarding pricing, P0s, Business model, why isn't Business teams taking decisions instead of PM team?
Because they are downstream from product. Not upstream.
When the business team starts dictating strategy - the tech company is not a tech company anymore
Bad PMs are really bad. Unfortunately, I have never got a good PM.
No care for user experience or having all the requirements without any loopholes. Only focusing on their KPIs of releasing things quickly without thinking if it'll be helpful in future.
They have all the tools but don't even monitor user drop off
Definitely Product Managers. Had they been recruited based on real experience & previous product ownership, they would've been a treat. For now, most are just T1/T2 MBA grads who can neither build nor sell, and just appear charismatic on the surface
Oh what’s the that? Your ordered one plate of “Knowledge from streets”?
One serving coming right up! 🤌
