Communication, analysis, ruthless prioritization – the pillars of product management

In the fourth episode of Season 2, we sit down with Eva Novotná, a Product Manager at Productboard, to go over the skills you’ll need to successfully lead a product team, including the three core ones: seamless communication, keen professional analysis, and ruthless prioritization. Eva emphasizes the important role soft skills and routine feedback play when closely collaborating with various teams on a daily basis. 

We explore the differences between project and product management and take a closer look at the pillar team structure we use here at Productboard. Eva shares her personal journey from PM consultant to full-time product manager. She talks about the highs (and a few of the lows) of the job. She also weighs in on the benefits of today’s increasingly popular hybrid work approach and the best way to build lasting professional relationships and align your team’s vision.
