Cranky Product Management

What is needed to make your products successful? That is one of the topics covered in the high-spirited discussion with The Cranky Product Manager (a.k.a. CPM). In this interview Michael talks with the CPM about several interesting topics. Although the CPM writes and talks in third person, she has a wealth of knowledge about product management and marketing.

Michael and the CPM discuss four key areas of product management:

  • PMs are “the product entrepreneurs” within the company
  • It doesn’t matter where PMs report in their organization
  • The “sales droids” are important to your organization; CPM said: “I love sales”
  • Product management is a leadership role in your organization.

The Cranky PM knows how to make PM fun and will keep you engaged (even if the voice you hear is not quite here own). Take a listen and let us know what you think.
