Acting as a member of a solution team, the Product Manager (PM) is relied upon to build relationships with primary business stakeholders to understand priorities and capabilities needed to achieve business objectives. PMs are also responsible for: managing the priorities of the Product Owners, researching the market & trends for their given area, communicating metrics for their given area, and keeping up to date on new technology and capabilities through independent market research.
When appropriate, the PM identifies and leverages opportunities to accelerate results and build capability of other team members by assigning tasks and decision-making responsibilities to individuals or teams with clear boundaries, expectations, support, and follow-up, effectively balancing "doing" & "delegating".
Finally, the PM defines and supports the building of desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable outcomes that meets customer needs as the owner of the value stream and understands the value stream from beginning to end.
