TEI 165: 2018 Product Management Insights

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: The role of
product manager formally dates back to the 1930s with its start at
Procter & Gamble, but it has only been in the last few years
that the role has become much better known. As the field has grown,
a few annual surveys to were created to provide insight into the
role. One that I follow is the Product Management Insights report,
which was just published by Alpha. I interviewed the report’s
co-author, Nis Frome, who is also co-founder and head of content at
Alpha, a company that provides on-demand user insights platform for
product teams. Nis is also the editor of Product Management Insider
and co-producer of the This is Product Management podcast. We
discuss: how people move into the role of product manager,the key
activities product managers are involved in,the responsibilities of
the product management role,where they get their ideas for product
features, andhow they spend their time.
