So, tech industry veterans, how long do we reckon it'll take for the big firms to start hiring again? A couple of years? 5? Or do we reckon those days are done?

Hey there #productmanager /s in small businesses and start-ups, question for you: is doing everything-except-coding just a fact of life in this role or am I doing it wrong?

Today so far my tasks have covered #marketing, #HR, #strategy, #design, #peoplemanagement, #productsupport and #productdelivery - and it's not noon yet.

Hey there product people of Mastodon. What are your hot tips for helping a time-selling business (aka consultancy) transition to a product-selling business? Assume the tech team is solid and funding is secured... this question is more about the wetware of the people involved.

I was talking with someone about the essential character traits of #ProductPeople - Here are my all-time faves:

💖 Empathy - The ability to understand & share feelings

👂 Active Listening - Uncover unmet needs, understand how to influence & persuade

🔍 Curiosity - Asking for more details, questioning, probing, and learning

🧠 Critical thinking - The ability to "connect the dots"

🤗 Openness - Being receptive to new ideas, opinions, and arguments

Bonus: 😁 Sense of humour - Appreciating and expressing the humorous

These are based on Petra Wille's framework to define what good looks like for product managers in your org. Read her book, seriously! 📕 Strong Product People

Of course, they do depend on your organization, maturity, industry, your product, where you are in the product life cycle, etc., but for me, these are the ultimate ones.

What are your top 5?

Are there frameworks or such for IT Product Ownership or Product Management? Like TOGAF, ITIL, PRINCE2, BABOK, PMBOK, that sort of guff

I'd like to learn what (if anything) the industry has settled around, get on the same page conceptually and linguistically, and just generally get more familiar.

Here’s a quick #Introduction post.

I am a #ProductManager, currently living in #Toronto with my wife of 10 years. Originally hail from #Mumbai, #India. 37 years old, and still looking out for new adventures.

Professionally, I have been working on digital first products across industries, be it #healthcare, #publishing, #openAI, #sports or #education.

Personally, I like to spend my time #reading both #fiction and #productivity related books, play #hearthstone, and #cook for my family.

De cuando en cuando leo predicciones sobre la extinción del rol de #ProductManager. No es solo que la #IA vaya a encargarse de nuestras tareas, sino también entiendo que es un trabajo cuyo impacto es difícil de cuantificar.

Este hilo de Itamar Gilad https://twitter.com/ItamarGilad/status/1615688365151748096 reflexiona sobre cómo medir ese impacto a partir de una premisa simple: dos PMs tienen dos ideas sobre las que trabajar

Trying to figure out if this is cultural or semantics. As a #productmanager do you tend to call the people who use your products #stakeholders or #customers? This is for internal products, fwiw.

Any #ProductManager that actively allows the disabling of pasting into password fields because of “#security” should lose their job. #ThereISaidIt.

Product managers, how do you decide which metrics to focus on for new-ish products/features? Is it by data captured and/or other factors?

Would love to hear from you!

Job interview in 2023:

A: What product management experience do you have?

B: Solid. I followed during 2022 elonmusk Twitter product management experiments and took notes on how not to manage: people, teams, releases, devops, gathering and implementing customer feedback, refactoring codebase, design and UI/UX topics and changing product policies and guidelines, and so forth!

A: OK, Hired!

Next year I want to get back to #writing. Is there something specific about #Productmanagement in practice do you want to know more about?

No generic topics like how to become a #productmanager. I have already done enough sessions on it and there is a lot already online.

looking for any specific topics you are curious about?

eg: after a semi heated discussion I had written great deal about NPS Scores.

This first year at #Microsoft as a #ProductManager is coming to an end -- it's been a big shift for me coming from decades of consulting - now building and innovating on the platform that our customers and partners use. There's so many great things coming next calendar year, and I can't wait to share it with you all!

There is an area of opportunity to publish how to be an effective #productmanager for internal products and also for products which typically don't have a UI (API's primarily). Are there thought leaders who have published material and I have just not come across it?

As a #productmanager I sometimes get feelings of "the grass is greener" and begin to envy my #engineering counterparts, who I imagine have it simpler, having fewer meetings, less #officepolitics, less #stakeholder bullshit, and more "heads down work." Moreover, they get the satisfaction of actually #building things and objective feedback.

But then I remember I am good at my job and #dev is really hard.

I'm curious: do #softwareengineer feel the same thing, in reverse?

What it feels like as a #UX Designer working with #ProductManager who are also CEOs:

1. PM thinks the product should look a certain way before it is even defined.

2. UXer goes to research, ideate, and iterate for a month.

3. UXer discusses and presents their observations and solutions at every step to align.

4. PM settles on their original "vision", despite research points other way.

5. Product goes thru months of engineering, fails to gain traction. PM asks UXer to make it look better.

We're 80% #OpenSource and it's a fully #Remote position open to anyone in EU, UK, USA or Canada.
