Summary
Product Management is a highly demanding role that requires PMs to master a diverse range of competencies. In this talk, we will discuss the 12 competencies that define the role of Product Management and how to evaluate yourself relative to those competencies. We will also discuss the fact that product is becoming an increasingly specialized role. This is an acknowledgment that no PM can be great at everything and that the best PMs align their strengths with where they can deliver the most value.
