Advanced Product Management: Presentation And Storytelling

🌟 Advanced Product Management: Presentation & Storytelling 🌟

For product managers, communication is key. 🚀

In the world of product management, your ability to effectively communicate with a wide array of stakeholders can make or break your success. You'll need to keep lots of people in the loop and adjust your language to each audience. This isn't just about sending emails or holding meetings; it's about crafting a narrative that resonates, persuades, and motivates those involved with your product. 📢

Master the art of strategic communication, negotiation & conflict management. 🗣️💪

Stakeholder communication is at the heart of any product manager’s day-to-day life. Mastering this soft skill is one of the most important keys to success. As a product manager, you spend more time communicating than executing. Great communicators are made, not born. Enough practice, experience, and conditioning can help you be a success.

As a product manager, there are two main audiences you’re constantly communicating with: your team (internal communication) and your users (external communication). Your ability to tell a good story when communicating about a product with internal teams, upper management, and external customers is crucial. Stories are stickier than data, and in the business world, they can serve as a way to capture attention and drive support for or adoption of a new product.

(Almost) everything is a negotiation. 🤝

You’ll build cooperation and manage customer requests at almost every turn. If you're a product manager, you negotiate every day, even if you don't notice. From prioritizing the backlog to determining the MVP of a new feature, a majority of our day involves negotiation. Product managers constantly build cooperation and negotiating trade-offs with customers, the sales team, and the engineering team to achieve strategy-supporting outcomes.
