By Coursera Blog - 2021-03-17

Description

By Nancy Wang, Jenny Wolochow, Melody Liu, Terri Czerwinski, and Saummya Kaushal. Product management has emerged as an essential role for any company

Summary

  • Product management has emerged as an essential role for any company seeking to deliver outstanding user experiences by creating products that people enjoy and find valuable.
  • As a PM, you don’t need to know how to write code yourself, but you should feel comfortable working closely with engineers every day and learn the lingo so you can become an effective translator between technical and non-technical teammates.
  • That insularity is what motivated me to work with Coursera and AWS to create the Real-World Product Management Specialization.
