WHAT DOES A PRODUCT MANAGER DO?
W W W . M I R O N O V . C O M 4
•  “…represents the customer’s interest in backlog
prioritization and requirements questions... available to
the team at any time.”
•  Provides intense sprint-level focus: stories, backlog,
prioritization, acceptance
•  Gets lots of love from Development
•  Feeds the hungry agile beast

Analyzed 41 US tech product manager
job postings
•  76% want previous product manager
experience
•  93% want a BS (68% prefer CS/EE)
•  93% want excellent verbal and
written communication skills
•  32% want MBAs
•  88% want experience in that
company’s market segment
WHAT PM HIRING MANAGERS WANT
9W W W . M I R O N O V . C O M
•  Naturally look for advanced users (SMEs)
•  Huge premium on technical chops, story writing
•  Rarely consider market-side experience
•  Undervalue “deflection” skills
•  Good match for IT project with strong champion
•  Sucks for commercial (revenue) products
WHEN DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS
CHOOSE THEIR PRODUCT OWNERS…
10W W W . M I R O N O V . C O M
•  Most product management teams were already
understaffed
•  Product ownership adds 40-60% more critical work
•  One product manager can “do it all” for a single
agile team
•  But typical Dev:PM ratio is
25:1, not 10:1
PROD MGMT: OVERSUBSCRIBED,
OVERCOMMITTED, BURNING OUT
11W W W . M I R O N O V . C O M

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. A lot of levers to pull to influence business outcomes
  2. Believe in rational markets, unemotional product comparisons, technically adept customers
  3. Degenerative case: one person has to do it all. Suck it up.
  4. Symptoms:
  5. Challenges: PO tends to stay inwardly focused, not build outward skills.PM tends to ignore/slight intense agile activity and strategic product opportunities it presentsSenior PMs see join PO role as less valuable/importantCounterbalances:Pair of PM and PO, high-bandwidth collaboration on iteration planning and acceptance criteriaCareer track discussions for PO: up to PM, over to PgM, over to EngM…
  6. Challenge: individual PMs are (appropriately) pulled into deep agile details and iteration rhythms. Tend to lose contact with/focus on broader external markets / customers / competitors.Need to balance this with a senior PM (dir PM…) who works product strategy and integration issues.
