All Product Managers Have The Same Problems
Imposter syndrome, stakeholders, skills, management, insights, users, Jira, product vision, team, scrum, agile and the list goes on.
If you ever feel like things are going too well, I bet they’ll go a little less well after checking that list. Because, there’s always a problem.
And hey, no one’s feeling sorry for us. Least of all us. Our job is awesome! We get to say what to build and then watch extremely competent people build it while thinking of the next step.
But here’s the thing about problems: they take our time and focus away from what really matters. Creating as much value with our product as possible.
I have 9 years of work experience at this point, five of them in product management. Before that I did software development and customer service.
I’ve tried doing scrum by the book, I’ve tried variations. I have, as everyone in the industry, at some point cursed the framework and its creators.
