From Good to Great: The PM playbook!

After years in the trenches with so many PMs, I’ve learned one thing: 

Great product management is NOT for the faint of hearts! 😅 

Here’s my humble take on the 3 factors that separate good from great.

.

Good PMs approach their role with the lens of project management, diligently filling trackers, shipping features, and closing tickets. 

Great PMs fundamentally focus on their core mission: knowing the problems deeply, driving distinctive customer value, and creating measurable business impact.

Good PMs mostly write in tech jargon and present PowerPoint decks that never fail to induce corporate coma 😅 

Great PMs are communication ninjas - they articulate a vision with laser-sharp clarity and can sell a strategy in the time it takes others to load their PowerPoint!

Good PMs can be a bit insecure, seek personal validation, and demand rigid protocols like medieval gatekeepers. 

Great PMs are collaborative champions who are secure enough to let design, engineering, and other disciplines shine!

Great product management isn't really a job. 

It's a calling 🙌
