This question has been a hot topic at work of recent times as this role has evolved (and some may say distorted) since the implementation of Agile. One of my colleagues passed on this article which added more fuel to the debate.
It would seem there is a greater debate about what a product manager is in terms of role definition. If you’re a product manager I’d be interested in what you do compared to others, like myself in the same field. Here’s a bit of what I do during each stage of the development cycle.
- Daiy: Scrum master, incident manager, problem solver
- Sprint: Facilitor & manager , manage requirements (high level / detail)
- Release: Facilitor & manager, communicator
- Product: Innovator, manager requirements (high level)
- Portfolio: Roadmap and planning (product backlog / release plans)
- Strategy: Roadmap
