Product Managers Are Focusing More And More On Design
I’ve been researching the evolution of product management as companies make the shift from projects to products for an upcoming set of reports about this — and there’s one thing that stands out: the rising (and needed) influence of user experience (UX) among product managers.
Several product managers I’ve interviewed have pointed out that UX influence is critical — but too often, product managers have been confined to project management, focused on development, or misunderstood the role of design completely. It’s time to solve this.
You can read more about this trend and eight others in our just-published report: “Digital CX Trends, 2019.” And keep an eye out for some upcoming research into this topic later this year.
