What is a Digital Product Manager and what does a Digital Product Manager do?
Product Management is a discipline that combines customer understanding, business, and technology to ultimately deliver value. Depending on the organisation’s scale and stage, a Product Manager is responsible for all the strategic and tactical aspects of building a digital product that will deliver value to customers and the business. They do so by analysing customer problems and opportunities, prioritising them based on qualitative and quantitative data, and working with the team in designing and implementing the best solutions – ultimately, managing stakeholders’ expectations by communicating both the strategy and the execution details effectively. In a nutshell, a Product Manager is a good problem solver with a great dose of empathy.
