They say product managers have to “talk”?

In addition to basic business and job skills, many HR will add the following item to the RESUME JD description

In response to this communication skill, the average person thinks, “Nothing wrong? To set things straight, I suppose!”

Is that really the case? Do you find the communication of product managers to be different in job hunting or work?

Recently, the project will soon be launched, which focuses on the resource docking before and after the launch, similar business resources (customer service support, supply chain support), and data support (API interface provision and construction) of other teams. In which, continuous small meetings and temporary communication, today we will talk about the product manager’s communication ability in the end refers to what?

And ordinary dama god in the street casual gossip or buy vegetables haggling different. Product manager communication is built in the context of product requirements communication. All in all for the sake of: product launch

Do product managers around you perform the following at work?

A product has A resource connection problem: Arrange A temporary meeting immediately, and those in need of support will attend

B product has resource connection problem: the enterprise looks for this person A and another person B….. on wechat

Appeal is the product manager in the channel demand landing communication scenarios, first do not discuss which communication is more efficient. The product manager’s communication is to solve the incessant repetition in the implementation of requirements as follows:

Development said there is a need for resources, product manager non-stop looking for resources.

It’s a scenario like this, where the App Store wants to release an App. You have to have a developer account, and the product manager can either borrow another account from the team or apply for it immediately.

In a similar scenario, e-commerce systems require production warehouse support. The product manager immediately goes to the warehouse manager to communicate with him about the quantity of stock or the type of product he needs in his own product line.

Appeal to all types of communication that he belongs to product manager communication…..

Appeals communication, it seems, can be done by anyone. Is it really like “everyone is a product manager” and anyone can do it?

In fact, this is not true. In the second scenario of appeal communication, the premise of communication with warehousing personnel is that the product manager should know that warehousing or logistics is not supported based on the existing company order or e-commerce system.

The premise of this problem discovery must be to invite the product manager to have an understanding of the business. Communication in this scenario requires product manager business knowledge.

Another scenario is when the developer is going to: I need to use the capabilities of AI.

Product managers need to know, first, if the AI has the ability to open up such apis, and second, how far is this ability going? Can it be applied to current product design scenarios?

After passing the assessment, we will open up the ability to connect with AI personnel to ensure that the demand can be implemented.

To sum up, the communication ability of product manager is based on product demand, business understanding and technical architecture understanding, which is the embodiment of efficient communication ability of product manager.

In life, we regard communication as a necessary element between people. But as far as the product person is concerned, this communication should not only have scope and purpose, but also be convincing.
