Product managers are not project managers. And vice versa.
Any forum or LinkedIn thread shows just how fiercely this topic is debated.
While either party may hate to admit it, there is a useful overlap between the two roles.
Product managers are sometimes expected to provide specific dates and workback schedules for their release.
Meanwhile, Project managers are sometimes expected to be visionary representatives of value for the customer.
So before we come to scraps, maybe the better question to ask is: what should project managers and product managers know about each other’s craft to become a powerhouse in 2025?
Join us as we mash-up perspectives from thought leaders in both project and product management to drive an optimistic (hopefully!) conversation about the future of product management and project management roles.
This will be a live event, so anything can happen! But I’m reasonably sure you’ll leave knowing…
- Why learning more about this other discipline might benefit your day-to-day
- Whether it’s possible to perform both roles simultaneously
- How product managers and project managers can work together best
- How AI might affect one, or both roles and how they interact
