From Jeff Lash‘s Ask A Good Product Manager:
I’ve known people who have tried scorecards, ranking systems, voting (see Product Development is not a democracy), but ultimately these are just ways to avoid the responsibility that product managers have to ultimately make the important decisions.
There’s no magic formula, and in the end, what might make a GOOD product manager vs. a BAD one is his/her ability to take hundreds/thousands of inputs, make good decisions, and learn from bad ones.
I’ve been helping companies and their leaders (CPOs, heads of product, CTOs, CEOs, tech founders, and heads of digital transformation) bridge the gap between business and technology through workshops, coaching, and advisory services on product management and digital transformation.
