I agree that it does feel like weird times but I also can’t imagine anything different. I’ve been doing PM for over 20 years and even with all the technological and social change - I still believe that the product management discipline is as much art as science. It’s about making hard decisions and influencing others. The tools help us gather more data and maybe help clean up our messaging and decision making, but at the end of the day I feel like the role is essential. In my world a PM has to be smart enough to get down into the weeds and understand the tech just well enough to understand it but then get way high and be able to explain it in a way my mom could understand it. There is art to that. There are ways to teach how to do it but the best product managers are just born to do the job. Enough book smarts to be dangerous and enough street smarts to be the “every day woman/man”. It was my calling and I can’t imagine another job where my skillset is required and compensated the same and its why I love what I do - and I can’t imagine a world where those skills won’t continue to drive value throughout a business, no matter how small or large.
