WEBINAR  

Disambiguating Product Management vs Product Design -
2 sides of the same coin
22 April 2021 | 08:00 PM - 09:00 PM  IST | Online

While Product management as a function is a well understood construct, product design as a practice has innumerable, often conflicting definitions and understanding. With almost everything getting labeled as "design led", it is imperative that Product designers appreciate the nuances of PM and vice-versa. Specific role expectations aside, Product Management and Product Design have to be seen as more of a culture. Having straddled both worlds, my talk is intended to stoke in you a mindset of reflection, exposure and vision; to help you disambiguate PM-PD differences and describe a better roadmap for ways-of-working that enables delightful products, services and beyond. I will also briefly describe opportunities to switch between the two functions.
