needed to lead the organization in making strategic
product decisions. They often analyse market and
competitive conditions and lay out a product vision that is
differentiated, to deliver unique value based on customer

Do you have what it takes to become a
Manager?
The skills as a product manager is applied in our
everyday lives. For example, to become an
entrepreneur, you must learn how to prioritize,
manage competing priorities and deliver on set
goals, which is very similar to the skills a product
manager possess.
Are you a
problem
solver?
Are you
adaptable ?
Are you
curious?
Are you a
creative
thinker?
Are you a
negotiator
?
Do you
have
analytical
approach
to things?

Classroom Exercises
1. Choose a product you like and use quite often. Now
imagine you’re PM of that product. Come up with a
backlog of tasks you would want to see in that product.
2. Brainstorm on products that failed and what will you do
differently to ensure the product succeeds.
3. Set your life goals and assign timelines to achieve
them and prioritize based on your goals.
4. Analyse an existing product, breakdown into features
and let's determine the road map.
