You can advance your career as a developer in a variety of ways, including by becoming a manager, developing into an expert as an individual contributor, or starting your own business.
But have you ever thought about giving up coding to enter the field of product management?
Okay, so after reading the first tweet, you might be like this. I'll explain!
More and more devs choose to become PM because they:
- we are fed up with coding
- want to interact with the company more and exert more influence over the product
- want to engage in more interactions each day
If you find yourself in one of these situations, you might want to think about switching to a product.
But as a PM, what will I do?
A career at the nexus of business, user experience, and technology.
To create the best solutions possible, you work with a variety of people inside (marketing, sales, strategy, design, tech) and externally (end-users, customers, and partners).
You devote your time to four different areas each day:
1️⃣ Discovery: By understanding the demands of the users, you can choose what features to build.
2️⃣ Delivery: You create and implement the findings from the discovery phase.
3️⃣ Before a product or feature is released, make sure it achieves its goals and is actually used (successful go-to-market)
4️⃣ Perform a performance analysis to gauge the project's effectiveness.
Keep in mind that in the culture of product management, success is assessed by the generated impact (=outcomes), not by the completion of projects as such (=outputs).
