Which part of your PMing you find most mind daunting
Hey all , I actually have many questions but as of now I am only going with the three , I am pretty sure those who are product managers especially in tech are understanding the roles in their own defined way
-
Which part of your role is most exhausting , is it working with cross functional teams or taking approval from leadership for executing your features rather than pre defined roadmap ?
-
What does that mean if someone says product management is rewarding career ? (Monetary or professional growth ;)
-
How does this role is going to evolve in next 2-4 years
Let's see what my fellow VINERS think about this role...
- Context switching.
- I've seen quite a few PMs in my 3 year journey and became a SPM at a large org pretty quickly without an MBA. My take is a lot of PMs don't care about the craft - those PMs generally don't get rewarded in either sense. The PMs who do, I've seen them taking huge bags and growing like anything.
- World will need problem solvers. Only the method to do it would change. These days I just spend 10 mins writing PRDs while my whole day goes to research. This has changed a lot since I've adopted GPTs. Those who don't adopt would become project managers and eventually phase out (my take).
Agreed with all three points and moreover the world will evolve with extensive change in every domain so it will always need problem solvers but as far as PRD is concerned, i think PM need to shift for Product requirment templates which is more like a checklist which you can take a look at every stage from Ideation to launch and it doesn't has to carry most of the unnecessary Infos which either changed or not a requirement at all for product
As a matter of fact, I create Miro boards and send to team. I don't write PRDs anymore
