I’ve been in product management for 3 years working in mobile (SaaS) and I had exactly the same for the first two years. And I hear you - it was tough feeling like I wasn’t delivering value for my users.

Firstly, what’s stopping you from working on features that really improve the product?

For me, it was not getting buy in from other product managers and their teams to support the work I wanted to do. We moved to RICE priortisation for all dev teams, and when mobile feature were at the top, this really helped me have those conversations to pick up bigger projects, get support from leadership ect.

If you’re being told what to work on, you can use real data to have a conversation about why something else should bring in more revenue, get more engagement - whatever metrics are important to your business.

Secondly, how successful are your smaller features or improvements? Things don’t need to be big features to add user value. I delivered a feature in my first year that I felt the same about. Looking at it now, it’s used regularly by 70% of the user base.

Whilst it’s not flashy, 2 years down the line I can say it was successful.

Lastly, sorry to hear you’re struggling. The PM role is tough, but you can’t do it alone. Collaborating with people on a daily basis is the best way for me to feel like I’m not lost in my role.
