Product Management: A How-To

Product Management: A How-To

Eric Prugh, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at PactSafe, joined us to walk through his philosophy and practices in product management.

Eric believes Product Managers need to have the ability to lead with vision for the long-view while understanding what their teams need for the day-to-day. He also knows how critical it is for Product Managers to be able to bring people together to solve problems.

We discuss how Eric’s team has recently adopted the Shape Up framework and what their early experience has been like. Eric also shares some advice for aspiring Product Managers and how his career has shown him that there isn’t a set path to get there.
