PM vs. PM | Great IT Professional | April 28, 2022

An engaging discussion to uncover how product and project management are very different and require different skills and mindsets. Despite the similar names, there are big differences between product management and project management. The confusion between the two roles is common and potentially harmful within organizations that do not understand the difference. This is often the case for companies that develop new digital products. A common challenge is that the two roles often appear to be at odds with each other. A product manager may want to add a lot of features to meet customer needs, but the project manager may want to limit the scope so that the project is delivered on time and under budget. Often traditional definitions mischaracterize the project manager as singularly focused on getting a specific product release finished on time and under budget without any concern as to whether it meets the needs of the market or customers. A comparison of the Product Management Body of Knowledge (ProdBOK®) and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) will be discussed. You'll learn: * Why demand for product and project management is rising * How the two roles differ and how they work together * Detailed comparison of the ProdBoK® and the PMBOK® Hector Del Castillo, Founder of BoldPM, will compare and contrast the two roles and describe how they work together within companies that consistently turn ideas into valuable products customers love.
