Sample Book Insights:

#1 The day-to-day practice of product management involves a lot less building than it does supporting, facilitating, and communicating. In this chapter, we discuss the actual, real-world practice of product management.

#2 A product manager is responsible for the success of a product. They may organize meetings, negotiate product roadmaps with senior executives, and work with their colleagues in sales and customer service to understand and prioritize user needs.

#3 As a product manager, you are responsible for the success or failure of your product. You must lead through influence, not authority, which requires developing a different set of skills and approaches.

#4 As a product manager, you are responsible for the success of your team and product. This means you must do whatever needs to get done to ensure their success, even if it doesn’t fall neatly into your written job description.
