Product management is a unique blend of art and science, distinct from roles such as project management, program management, business analysis, or business development. Some projects or products may have dedicated product managers, but I believe these skills are valuable for various roles, even if not explicitly labeled as a product manager. Even technologists can benefit from these skills to enhance the value of their work.

This is where Dinker Charak’s book ‘Product Management Untangled’ becomes essential. Dinker is a guiding force for product managers and an influential figure aiming to improve product development practices. In a world where ‘PM’ is often associated with Project Management, Dinker has popularized the term ’#ProMa’ for Product Management.

I had the privilege of getting early access to the book and writing a testimonial for it. 🙏 Thanks Dinker for including it as the very first page of the book.
