Such a good article. At its core, Product Management is three interrelated activities: 1) understanding what customers want, 2) turning that understanding into a working product that serves customers, and 3) translating that product into a valuable asset for the business. These activities must be done for an organization a to succeed. It's important to understand that the debate about the role of Product should be about where in the organization these activities are done -- by product managers or others -- rather than about whether they should be done at all.

I just love this article. So spot on in all of these. Fav: "I’d love to see the lines between product, design, and engineering blur more so everyone can contribute to crafting the customer-facing product." I was reflecting the other day that being a generalist who bounces between product and design might be limiting my career but maybe not after all.
