Welcome to The Product Insider

Our mission is to help Product Managers of all levels by sharing our experiences and facilitating conversations with fellow PMs to discuss and debate aspects of our job, the challenges that come with it, and how to become better PMs.

What is the goal of The Product Insider?

At The Product Insider we believe that a product mindset can create lasting and significant value for product owners, companies, and – most importantly – the users. We believe that by thoughtful conversations & debates we can create awareness for Product Management challenges, and drive toward improvement and recognition of the role.

We will partner with some of the smartes PMs, working across all levels – from individual contributors to senior VPs – across a variety of industries, to ensure our content is relevant and useful.

What gets me excited about Product Management?

Products are interesting. They shape our lives, our relationships, and how we perceive reality. Some are delightful, and give us immense joy, others are frustrating and challenging. Some achieved cult status through being so bad it hurt (MS Office’s Clippy, anyone?), some are so good we queue for hours to get our hands on them (Appel’s iPhone).

Being a PM means to own this experience, end to end, which is a process that is surprisingly intimate. You need to be ‘on the inside’ of your product, to understand how it works, and connect to the ‘outside’ to understand user impact and effects.
