How Might We Fix Product Management and Close the Skills Gap

“During the pandemic, many companies experienced a surge in demand for digital services and products, leading to rapid hiring sprees. With expectations of continued growth, they expanded teams across every aspect of the product, anticipating long-term demand.

Features that would have once undergone thorough discovery, prioritisation, and sizing were now being churned out at breakneck speed.

Product managers, who once prioritised delivering cohesive user experiences, have increasingly become mere managers of feature factories, losing sight of the broader vision.

This shift has come at a significant cost, resulting in a substantial skills gap in product management due to the diminished emphasis on developing core product development skills.
