3 Minute Product Manager: Structuring a Product Team

[@isaacjeanteube]

I'm using your Udemy courses for about 2 years, and I would like to thank you for the great work and quality you put in. Cheers

Is there a coupon? how to influence to build a product maturity?

What’re your thoughts on having one head of product and then several (8-10) associate product managers? Do you believe in this or would you say senior or group PMs are necessary to guide?

[@toddbirzerproductmanagement]

Hi SV, 8-10 junior product managers plus a head of product might be tough. If possible, it would be better to mix in a few senior product managers, or maybe 1-2 managers (who are experienced product managers) underneath the head of product. Thanks for the question...

Dear Friends, I am understanding the work and thinking of a product manager of a product-making company as follows: Step 1: Survey and detect market demand Step 2: Measure and evaluate the volume of customers with demand Step 3: Discuss with the Board of Directors about the opportunity Step 4: Do R&D project on products Step 5: Run product test to market Step 6: Evaluate the product after the trial period Step 7: Determine the actual demand and volume Step 8: Meeting with the Board of Directors to decide to deploy or cancel the product Step 9: If deployed, the product manager will convey the idea of the product down to the Agile team. Step 10: Launch product into the market Step 11: Follow the lifecycle of the product to evaluate the product's KPI and cash flow. Question: Am I missing a step or misinterpreting the job of a product manager?. Thank you.

Hi Todd - I am a Group Product Leader in regulated industry (lots of RLC: Risk, Legal, Compliance deliverables in addition to code), what do you think about having an End User Readiness Product Area (inclusive of RLC deliverables) - perhaps a Kanban team... thanks for your input. Mark

[@toddbirzerproductmanagement]

Hi Mark, good to hear from you. If you are in a highly regulated industry, it's important to have legal and compliance expertise - preferably with a team, and not just one person. I'd have to know more details to talk about how to structure this, but - if you have lots of RLC deliverables as part of any product rollout - what you are suggesting may make sense. If you want to talk more, reach out via LinkedIn. Thanks...Todd
