5 Uncommon Myths About Product Managers
Myth 1 : PMs are the "CEO" of the Product.
Reality: PMs take product levels decisions but don't have CEO-level authority. They collaborate with teams and stakeholders to drive outcomes.
Myth 2: PMs only focus on building new product
Reality: They oversee the entire product lifecycle—improving existing products, keeping up with trends, and addressing user challenges.
Myth 3: PMs dictate the product roadmap.
Reality: Roadmaps are a team effort! PMs align inputs from users, market research, and stakeholders to shape the vision.
Myth 4: PMs are all about technical details.
Reality: While technical know-how helps, PMs balance user needs, market demands, and business goals. Soft skills matter just as much.
Myth 5: PMs only oversee development.
Reality: Beyond building, PMs work on go-to-market strategies, customer insights, and monitoring product performance.
