A product manager’s bread and butter involves (inspired by Reforge):

• Making progress towards product-market fit
• Feature work: creating value by extending a product’s functionality and market incrementally into adjacent areas
• Growth work: capturing value by accelerating product adoption in existing markets
• Product-market fit expansion: creating more value by expanding into adjacent products and/or markets

A great product leader would likely be competent at:

• Staying ahead of the curve of customers’ evolving pains and desires (esp. with AI tools becoming ubiquitous since ChatGPT)
• Managing stakeholders across the organisation and beyond to persuade, convince, suggest, and push forward changes
• Understanding how technology works to make intelligent decisions
