As companies navigate the digital world, every business function gets complex, as does the product management role.
A product manager is at the centre of all those functions touching a product - design, engineering, sales, marketing, customer success, operations, finance, and more. They influence every aspect of what gets built, how it gets made, and its launch.
Unlike their past role, which was mainly focused on execution task, a product manager is expected to wear a collaborator’s hat, aligning diverse functions to work together and drive the product’s success.
In this digital era, the role of a product manager has evolved due to the growing significance of data in decision-making, increased customer and design focus, and new-age software-development methodologies. Unlike traditional product managers, who primarily focus on execution and on-time delivery of projects, today’s product manager is increasingly the mini-CEO of the product.
Today’s product managers must recognize the user and buyer personas and create unique value propositions for each. Identify, evaluate, and respond to crucial product analytics. They must use a broad knowledge base to make trade-off decisions and unite cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment between diverse functions. Further, product management is viewed as the new training ground for leadership roles.
Some of the CEOs of big corporations started their careers with product management - Sundar Pichai of Google, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Marissa Mayer of Yahoo, and Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo. They lead teams by guiding products from planning to development to launch and beyond. This managerial experience of theirs became valuable to climb career-high roles eventually.
The Advanced Programme in Digital Product Management equips professionals with the capabilities to adopt agile product management practices and frameworks and build products that meet the needs of today’s users.
