Is product managment art or science? #JagDuggal #productmanager #facebook #google #nubank #HarryStebbings #20VC #productleader #producttok #fyp

The thing about product management is, it's a pretty new discipline. When an engineer shows up at a tech company or a salesperson shows up at a tech company, they kind of know what the job is. When I showed up at Google in 2006, no one really had a definition for what a product manager was. They showed you where the bathroom was and then they sort of dropped you in a team and said go. Over the last 15 years, it's become gradually more scientific. I think we're on the cusp of making it 90% science. What is the science of understanding product market fit? How do you make it metrics driven more than like gut feel? Having said that, I think the last 10% and the most important 10% and the 10% that makes all of the difference is still art. Once you get the science, you get to the start line of having a shot at winning the race. But it's the 10% of art that is how you win that race.
