To get all philosophical for just a second, though, just remember that the product manager role is often set up, deliberately, to fail fast and often. Ours is an operational role in which, if you’re doing it right, practitioners will routinely run into technical, financial, strategic, or other issues that they don’t yet completely understand. This can be very frustrating, and is compounded by the fact that product management relies on the collaboration with other teams to ultimately be successful.
