What is a full-stack product manager? Well, I think we should start by breaking down both terms. Full-stack, in the tech sense, describes someone who is a jack-of-all-trades, but (generally) a master of none. You usually see this term on engineering teams, where job descriptions ask for “full-stack” candidates by requiring skills that are critical.

Originally a late-night brain dump on Twitter, I thought it’d flesh some of it out a bit here. — @ant_murphy Product Management is complex. Complex because it’s situational which makes being a good Product Manager about being adaptive. More than that. It's being able to contextualize and read the situation in order to adapt appropriately.

Did you know that technical issues are the number one reason people delete apps off their phones? That’s right! More than 90% of the downloaded apps are deleted after one use. Similarly, 88% of users don’t return to a website after bad user experience. This is why UX matters. These days users expect remarkable experiences every time they interact with an app, products, support, or a website and in case they don’t get it, you may never have a second chance with them.

Change is hard. It’s an uphill battle against the familiar, the routine, complacency, and inertia. Even when people agree, change is needed. Figuring out the best change management process requires continued commitment and discipline. Larger changes are even harder, mainly when the status quo has been stagnant for an extended period of time. On top of it all, all change needs to sync up across the entire organization’s complexities.
