Don't become a product manager

Love this video. It reaffirmed that I SHOULD be a PM. I am OK being on board with the strategic direction, I like fluidity, lean into the big responsibility, don't mind the spotlight (I was in Sales for 7+ years)

Thanks for sharing..

thanks for this, I'm PMP certified in Project management, my boss is advising me to get into Product Management I'm confused now since I have been handling projects and a set of team for over 5 years now, what is your opinion on this?

I'm currently working as a Senior Project Manager, and I find it difficult to pick either I should go for Program Management career or Product Management career.
As I know in terms of money they are pretty the same, in terms of job duties they are different, but I don't know which I like more, because as for now I'm doing kind of both of these roles :D what is your opinion about it?

Clickbait title

where can i study pm as a degree online ? or what would you advice me to do
?

I am glad that I went through the whole video. All the highlighted points made my mind clear that I must go for this role. Thank you

I went in with skepticism, but you make really valid points - very relatable! Great advice, product management isn't for everyone.

This is a click bait

It’s a newly created role to offload the leadership of its responsibilities by scoping a job like that. Boss hires a PM and forces them to run the business for you while taking all the profits himself.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and insights. I can't wait to start my PM course to get into this field ;)

Having direct reports is great it means you have grown as a PM when it happens , however whats more important is to grow in your role as PM to ensure that you are ready to lead people .In my opinion people should not rush to have direct reports , leading people is not easy for some PMs because leading people means you no longer just responsible for your own performance as PM , you are also responsible for other people’s performance as well which can be a challenge . PMs are great influencers , they have to influence a lot of people but it takes more than influence to lead people , 10 years doing the same role in the same or at different companies and experiencing different challenges prepares you exactly for that .There is nothing worth witnessing than a PM who is extremely adept at all aspect of the PM profession …. people management /project management /product management / Creating a vision /clear understanding of their product and the various metrics etc. you name it

So 5 points are:
1. Not setting the strategy
2. Very fluid position
3. Big responsibility
5. No direct reporting ppl
5. Being in spot light

Thanks for a great video with valuable info 🙌

You are so pretty girl

Do you need coding, analytical skills, data analysis or any kind of math brain to do this job?

*Fluid Jobs, Got my answer there, ty :)

Wow beautifully explained 👍🙏

If it takes a decade to move up to management, you're working on a dying or stagnant product. Look for growing companies and products.

Can you suggest me a good product management college/universities in Canada?

Do something else. stick with your ob. Nothing learnt.

And....this is why I switched to UX. Best decision I made

Brilliant, Honest Video!

I'm just starting out and got a new job as a specialist. Can you help me with some guidance?

out of context but your hair and makeup is actually too good!
and thanks for highlighting the downsides of being a PM too, got me pondering if it's my cup of tea!

What about PM at non-tech field.. Like pharmaceutical or cosmeceutical company.. Could you please give an insight on non tech or more of a life science field

哈哈，很有意思的视频内容，幸亏我已经入行PM，要不然直接被你劝退🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not having direct reports e.g. people management is in my opinion one of the biggest benefits of a PM role. High salary and high up in the hierarchy but not having to manage people is great. :-)

Hi Alisa, thank you for this informative video !! I am currently working as a Product Owner and planning on Moving to the product Manager role. Could you please suggest some courses and certifications that will add some Value . Thank you 🙏🏾

Can product manager do business??

What is the name of your company I located in India my company is CITY GROUP co operative

I like the balanced view and I agree with some of your points, always good to hear the other side when making a long term career decision!

Brilliant! Would love to see more about how you format these presentations to different types of stakeholders. Do you have particular templates (narrative structures more than designs) or lessons learned from doing this? How do you make sure they’re high quality if you’re having to do them all the time?

Awesome video! Handling stakeholders can be a very tough thing to do as a PM (depending on your organization and political environment).. sometimes as a PM you are left with all the responsibility to deliver without the authority to execute.

Very enlightening!

You hit on some good points- especially for PMs that might be managing digital products that support the core product, or a physical product. It might be a supporting effort and you don’t always own the p&l. Great vid!

I feel like the direct report point is the most subtle. A PM fundamentally is a skilled, personable facilitator. The upside is you get to wear many hats and make things happen. The downside is you're not directing anything, you're facilitating.

I have a creative/marketing background and am tired of having no work/life boundaries. Are there any jobs in tech that aren't "fluid" and also don't require a C.S. degree?

Just transitioned from Project Management to my first Product Manager position at a new company. Your videos have been very helpful in giving me the insight into the life of a product manager that really encouraged me to pursue this career path. Thanks for all of your helpful info.

Great content!! Thanks. Any tips on product presentation to stakeholders? Will be helpful. Thanks
