This sounds accurate. I see myself as a Pain Manager more than a Product manager.
Product just solves the pain that users have ;)
Sometimes we get it right the first time we launch it, I think most of the time we get it right over a period of time.
Trying to do a little bit better everyday and ship as fast as possible!
"A Product Manager (PM) at Google is responsible for guiding the development of products from conception to launch. They identify user needs, define product vision and strategy, prioritize features, work with cross-functional teams (engineering, design, marketing), and ensure the product aligns with business goals. They act as the bridge between technical teams and stakeholders to deliver successful, user-focused solutions."
Some might have ignored your question, but in the spirit of good conversation, I figured I’d share a quick explanation of what a PM does, just in case it helps!
