How to Future-Proof your Product Management Skills

Thinking about how to future-proof your product management skills?

You’ve probably seen the traditional Venn diagram of customer, technology and business.

But the evolution of product management supports a broader, more cross-domain view per Gartner.

As product management roles become more focused on outcomes and strategic planning, there will be a greater emphasis on bringing the “voice of the customer” and an “outside-in” perspective to the business with customer data analytics and insights.

Here are some of the top skills for product managers:

➡️ Storytelling

➡️ Data insights
➡️ Discovery and validation
