Politics will always be a part of the product manager job. You will need to manage your “reputation” in the organization. You will need to be a peace keeper. You will need to say “maybe later” without making people mad. You will be challenged by other people and you will need to hold your ground while not making people mad. The PM role is one of the hardest roles to do at an “A” level because: It’s a broad role.

As technology becomes more ingrained into everyday life, the ability to use digital products is a necessity; therefore, from an ethical perspective, ensuring that a diverse set of customers can use your product is a moral imperative. There is also a real financial risk to not making your product accessible.

As engineers, one of the fundamental things we have to learn is the extent to which we can break things – how do we get the right balance between shipping safely and shipping fast?
