[geek] product manager training camp

I have met many fresh students , All have this question ： Can inexperienced fresh students be product managers ？

My view is that ：

1． It is appropriate for most new graduates to be product managers of requirements or documents , But it is not appropriate to be the product leader or module leader .

Many people object to new graduates being product managers , In fact, it is against them in inappropriate positions . Some fresh students have a big deviation in their understanding of product managers , Think that the product manager is to control the product 、 Design function , Neglecting many other necessary abilities and experiences .

《 House of CARDS 》 There is a good sentence in , If you want to steer , You have to know how to row first .

If you don't know how much brainstorming it takes to implement a function 、 Group discussion 、 With the boss and leader The argument for , How many program changes will you go through 、 Documentation 、 Version planning and repeated tracking and optimization after launching , How much experience and technology 、 Business or operation colleagues , Can only make 「 A function looks good , The user probably likes it 」 Such a judgment , There is no good function .

I did meet some fresh students , Because I didn't get the offer, I went to a small team to make products . Small teams usually don't have many product managers , So often in this case , Fresh students will have to lead their own products , Or lead a module . For new students , This is a very dangerous path , It's like being completely unfamiliar with sailing 、 When I haven't been a sailor all day , And began to take the helm .

Fresh students from large companies seldom have such problems . Many new entrants need a few weeks or even months of training , Familiar with the workflow , Learning work skills , Then they will be assigned to follow up with some detailed requirements , Take over the complete functional modules in the last oneortwo years , You can do it easily .

In fact, the most important thing is , The nature of the work of different product managers varies greatly —— Many companies CEO Claiming to be a product manager , The product manager is responsible for the whole product line , It is the product manager who does the function module , Writing a document 、 It is also the product manager who draws the prototype , None of this can be generalized . Fresh students should start from the bottom .

Still learning , Keep going ！ If necessary , You can spell my name together or share with each other .
