Last week I had the pleasure of hosting my second #prodmgmttalk Twitter chat.
These are held weekly on Monday 4PM PST (Tuesday morning in Australia) and are setup and run by Cindy Solomon (@cindyfsolomon) and Adrienne Tan (@actan).
The topic was Essential Product Management Education, Knowledge and Skills. You can see a full recap of the talk here.
Here’s the question:
Given there are few formal education programs for Product Management, and that most of us got into this field “accidentally”, and likely learned on the job, what are the base skills, tools, knowledge etc. that are either necessary or VERY useful to have to be a great Product Manager?
And what’s typically missing that people should go out and learn?
So, I’ll stop there, and leave the responses up to you.
Please answer in the comments on this post. I’ll summarize if needed in the near future.
BTW, I’ve also posted this question on Quora — here — in case you are interested in reading what that community has to say.
