The GO Product Navigator looks at four principal and four supporting capabilities of Product Management.
Product management is profoundly strategic, entwining business and product strategies. Product Professionals navigate the realm of value creation, addressing Goal setting, Product vision,Product strategy, Positioning, Pricing, Strategic advantage,Product roadmaps, and Product Portfolio management, among others.
Discovery entails uncovering the core problem we aim to solve and for whom. Essentially, we become "problem owners." Without a dedicated focus on discovery, we're mere feature factories. This sphere encompasses competitor analysis, identifying blue vs. red oceans, personas, empathy maps, and the jobs-to-be-done framework, among other techniques.
While discovery is vital, a product realizes its value in the hands of customers. Thus, delivery exceeds product creation. Think of it as encompassing go-to-market strategies, marketing messaging, search engine optimization, managing project-based and iterative development (Scrum, Kanban), and cultivating transparency through tools like Obeya.
Those in product management often struggle with the question: "how do we mobilize others? It starts with self-awareness, evolving communication styles, and nurturing personal growth. Effective product management demands fostering the growth of fellow team members while also managing exceptionally skilled individuals. Leaders excel in coalition-building, stakeholder management, negotiation, and handling challenging conversations.
Quality decisions necessitate factual foundations, yet prompt decision-making fosters effective strategy execution. Capabilities required for this domain spanBusiness value assessment, alignment with organizational goals, value maximization, financial acumen, metrics interpretation, dashboard creation, and analytics application. This aspect frequently bridges the gap between strategy and execution.
Already explored in eXtreme Programming is "the voice of the end customer," a concept manifest in design, interaction, feedback solicitation, and tangible impact. While closely linked toUser Experience (UX), it embodies a product-oriented perspective. Capabilities encompasses design principles, customer outcomes, collaboration with user groups, and a profound understanding of product usage patterns.
At its core, product work is collaborative. Our role involves uniting stakeholders to collectively deliver customer value.Those seeking to transcend delivery should focus on interactions with UX, marketing, sales, operations, datascience, and executives. Cultivating and maintaining partnerships to facilitate outsourcing, insourcing, offshoring, and more becomes crucial. The management of contracts, governance, and compliance needn't evolve into a struggle but rather a seamless process.
Communication stands as a pivotal facet of your role as a product professional, rooted in the Latin verb "communicare" - "to make common." It involves interaction, reporting, forecasting for the business, adaptability in approach based on the audience, prowess in written and spoken communication, and the art of storytelling.

While enjoying a large cup of coffee, I went through the 80 questions on areas such as Leadership, Collaboration and Strategy. The resulting report is a nice baseline measurement with tips on how to develop myself. Recommended for every Product Owner and thanks for developing.
