Every company should understand the product or service that they offer. They should have extensive knowledge about the scope of competition in the market and the problems they are trying to solve for their customers. From strategic planning leadership to UI design to product marketing, there is one role that is involved every step of the way of this process; The product manager.
Product management was born from the concept of branding and has become even more important with the incorporation of technology into every aspect of life. In most companies, the communication gap between the IT or engineering departments and the marketing team and sales force is cavernous and needs to be bridged by a professional who understands both sides of the industry.
Finding and recruiting a product manager can be a difficult challenge, especially since a great product manager goes above and beyond to truly own their product. They take responsibility for its success or failure and are there every step of the way, from researching consumer needs before development even begins, to surveying customers post-release and implementing design changes and updates over time. They act as a director of all processes involving their product and have strong executive decision-making capabilities.
