Open Question – One thing you wish you had known when you became a PM

Hi

Simple question :

What’s one thing you know now that you wish you had known when you became a Product Manager?

Think of it as advice you’d like to pass down to those new to or thinking about entering the field.

I’ll start.

I wish I had really understood the value of ruthless prioritization. By that I mean prioritizing all the things that were (seemingly) expected of me, and being able to clearly define what was most important and focus on those.

I remember being completely overwhelmed in my first Product Management position by trying to do what I thought was expected of me by all the other teams.

It was a huge learning curve, and this was in a company that in hindsight, probably had one of the best grasps of Product Management of any company I’ve worked in.

OK, over to you. Please leave your answers in the comments section below.
