Config 2024: Product management: half art, half science, all passion (Dare Obasanjo, Meta)
Being a successful product manager involves combining scientific techniques with human intuition. Being curious, creating hypotheses and then validating them via experiments, talking to customers and analytics are critical tools for making data driven decisions. Using engaging examples, the audience learns how to effectively translate user data into strategic insights.
Shifting to the artistic side of product management, the focus turns to product sense - the ability to predict user needs and market trends using empathy and creativity. The presentation also explores storytelling's power in product management; a compelling narrative can unify teams, sway stakeholders, and connect with users more profoundly.
Throughout, the talk emphasizes passion as a central theme, showcasing how the blend of data-driven strategies and human-centric design can solve real-world problems
