What is Product Management?

Product management is an organisational function that directs each stage of the lifecycle of a product by putting the customer and the product first. Additionally, product managers assist in market analytics efforts by providing key insights that inform future product development.

Product managers oversee the creation and distribution of products, facilitating their full life cycle and keeping internal development processes focused and efficient. To build a competitive product, product managers advocate for customers within the organisation and make sure the voice of the market is heard and heeded.
