37 Skills Outstanding Product Managers Share

A comprehensive guide to clarify the skills PMs need to stand out

Be Careful! There’s Much Noise Out There!

Frameworks. Frameworks. Frameworks.

More frameworks won’t help you rock the world.

I always get the same question: Which is the best product framework? Which Agile framework should I use? Wrong questions. Sorry.

It’s not about the framework. It’s about creating value while adapting to your challenges. Creating digital products is anything but trivial.

Here are the five characteristics PMs need to thrive:

1. Leadership → It’s all about leading, not managing
2. Communication → Knowing how to exchange and create value out of it is key
3. Teamwork → Collaboration with multiple teams is mandatory
4. Product Management → Knowing the core aspects of creating products is vital
5. Techniques → Creating a Swiss knife and knowing when to use what is handy
