Thinkful Speaker Series || Successfully Overcome Product Management Roadblocks

More and more companies and even entire industries are undergoing a digital revolution, and the demand for product managers is on the rise––but Product Management remains one of the least well-understood roles in tech. Anyone involved in a product launch knows how much coordination of teams and talent it takes to pull off. With that many cooks in the kitchen, tough situations arise and firm decisions need to be made. Where does a product manager fit in this fast-paced, chaotic environment? Smack in the middle.

Join us as we discuss the ins and outs of the product management world through a conversation with topic expert Andrew Dao. We’ll talk about his journey into product management, the unique role that product managers play in the tech ecosystem, and three of the biggest challenges that every PM faces — along with how the truly successful product managers overcome them.
