I always find these kinds of blog posts entertaining. First, using the word "job" greatly minimizes the work a PM does. Second, the most important responsibility of the PM is missing!
A PM's responsibility (not just their "job") is to build and grow the BUSINESS (I don't mean selling), however what's listed in this article, despite loads of buzzwords, is HOW that's done, but there's more.
The PM must, most importantly, have a firm understanding of the market opportunity with a comprehensive business model and product strategy that allows them to capture the opportunity. You know, that whole part of business about making money? It's always forgotten in articles like this, despite being the most important responsibility. Ok, I'm done ranting for now.
interesting. where i work they stand around all day and talk to each other about craft beer and hockey. this is usually between meetings where they decide what work other people will actually do.
