Agreed. Additionally, you cannot understand the value of the daily work of a product manager unless one accepts the general tendency of unmanaged human structures to become less ordered, less focused, and more blurred around the edges. Product people tirelessly work to undo accumulated clutter, manage risk, and efficiently discover the right thing to build for the customer while also serving the needs of the business. Product managers understand that products do not have costs, choices do. Thus, we are careful thinkers and continuously course-correct the highly variable development process. We work to maintain the coherence of the product strategy each quarter (and beyond), as without active maintenance, the line demarcating products become blurred, and coherence is lost. And, if the strategic design becomes obsolete, a product manager’s job is to create a new way of coordinating efforts so the competitive energy is directed outward instead of inward.
