Career dilemma- Product Management
I am currently managing a product, which has not really scaled up as expected over the last 1.5 years.
Hand to heart, I can say I have given my best in terms of efforts but still the outcomes are not as expected due to many factors beyond my control.
Now this has created a perception amongst senior management that my team is working very slowly and not able to build what customers want.
It is very difficult to change this perception in short term
I have asked for change of product portfolio multiple times but that is not getting entertained.
Any suggestions if I want to stay in this company (other than the very obvious - looking for opportunities outside the organisation.)
Over-communicate : Highlight what’s impeding the product growth and how you can solve it or if it’s not solvable. See, the fundamental thing I see in young PMs is - If they can guide any decision making process, it’s a win!
You should explore opportunities outside IMO.
It’s not worth it to keep beating your head against a immovable wall
