How to Become a Product Manager: The Core Skills

Product management is one of the most in-demand career switches in tech, high-paying, skills-based, and no coding required, yet widely misunderstood. This cursus builds the real skills, not the myths. Start with what a PM actually does: leading a product trio through influence, measured on outcomes not features. Then the craft: discovery to find what is worth building, prioritization frameworks like RICE to decide what to build, and metrics, MVPs, and the build-measure-learn loop to ship and improve. Each lesson ends with how a career switcher can practice and break in.
