berlin product managers

During our meetup at ESMT Berlin (collaboration with Anant Parashar - ESMT Berlin Tech and Innovation Club ) dedicated to students and aspiring product managers, we discussed valuable insights and helped participants get a deeper understanding of the product manager role. We want to highlight those skills necessary to ace the role here as well ℹ 1. Clear Communication: As a PM, you act as the bridge between different teams (engineering, marketing, design). Focus on Efficiency and avoid information overload or demotivation. Only share relevant information with each team to maintain focus and motivation without distracting them. 2. Team & Stakeholder Alignment: Alignment means ensuring that everyone involved is working towards the same goals. This requires listening to different perspectives, managing expectations, and building consensus. A well-aligned team moves faster and with less friction. 3. Problem Structuring: Break down complex problems into manageable components. A PM who can structure problems well helps their team focus on solving the right issues, driving efficient product development. 4. Decision Making: A great PM makes decisions based on data, user insights, and business needs.  Quick and confident decision-making allows teams to stay on course and avoid unnecessary delays. 5. Mental Model Scaling: As your product grows, the complexity of managing it increases. Scaling your mental models means adapting your thinking to handle larger teams, more stakeholders, and a broader product vision. It allows you to think strategically while handling day-to-day operations effectively. -- What would you add to the list? Which do you think is the hardest to master? ♻️ Repost to help other aspiring product managers and follow berlin product managers for more! Pictures by Arundhati 😎
