Idolised by some ๐, misunderstood by many ๐, Product Management blends a multitude of disciplines into a unique role for which there is no standard curriculum ๐ or career path ๐ข.
In this talk, Iโll demystify ใ๏ธ the role of the Product Manager ๐, talk about why it is awesome โก (and why, sometimes, it isn't ๐ฃ), share insights ๐ก into what mastery in product management looks like ๐ป, and discuss how you can start building your Product skill set and take concrete steps ๐พ to land your first Product job.
You will leave this session knowing:
- what Product Management is ๐ญ โต ๐ฎ
- what Product Managers actually do ๐ฅ ๐ฌ โ ๐ค
- why you would fit into Product or not ๐ฐ
- what actions to take next to land your first Product job ๐
Engineer ๐ง by training, Product guy by heart โค๏ธ, I'm an early adopter of all the things: hoverboards ๐, noise cancelling ๐ง, Switch ๐ฎ, drones ๐, etc โ ๐ฑ.
Consulted for big banks ๐ฆ running Cobol ๐ฑ, then moved to ๐ Startup + Techno ๐ Mecca Berlin โ๏ธ to reboot my career in Product.
Built stuff, led a trainee ๐ฃ program for aspiring Product Managers, collected underpants, profited ๐, and returned to Lisbon ๐ to tackle new challenges managing B2B Products powered by AI ๐พ @ Feedzai.
