Lying at the intersection between business, design, and technology, product management is the practice of identifying and building out products that are viable, feasible, and desired by your customers.

Whether they’re developing their own product or working within a larger organisation, product managers work with key stakeholders, designers, and developers to ensure that the final product satisfies both business objectives and customer needs.
