It is the first time I see all these areas in product linked together in a logical manner. Thank you for sharing, and the hard work involved to establish such a clear picture.

Thank you Patrick. I tried for the first time a several months ago. My draft has been waiting for a better time :)

It appears you missed the financial part. I mean unit economics, P&L, cash-flow, financial modelling, BEP.

This should probably go into the business part 🤔 Thanks, dmfmnk!

This is awesome. For an aspiring product Manager looking to transition into product management, this is the best roadmap I've ever come across. Thank you for blessing the world with your knowledge

hi , Pawel, can you confirm if the PM Skills certificates will be sent to the email ? and what is the deadline for those who approved

Hi Pawel , I haven't received my certificate yet, do you know when they will be able to send it?

Did you receive it now? The number of certificates was limited to 300 and only for the latest assessment, not this one. The latest assessment: https://www.productcompass.pm/p/product-management-skills-assessment

I assigned 500 instead of 300 certificates. The last 65 were sent 10 minutes ago.

This is fantastic and super super useful! Being a former developer as well (and in a previous life studying maths at university) I have struggled to find a logical overview of the 'landscape of Product'. Thanks for this and keep the great content coming!

Thank you for the consolidated mind map! This is well put together and clearly explains the competencies of the PM. The links in the mind map are pure gold!

Really appreciate it, Santharam. Let me know if you have any ideas on what to improve!

This is so well put together, clear, and feels actionable as a PM growing in their career. You’re demystifying the growth and learning paths for these areas. Your goal seems clear, I wonder if you’ve thought about later helping those transition from other functions understand their learning path? Perhaps you have a resource on this topic already.

Hey Sarah, thanks. Yes, I'll also write about breaking into PM in the future. Currently, I collected 700+ survey results, which contain not only questions and answers, but also experience and the current role of each participant.

Excellent breakdown, and the resources are super valuable. In the midst of building a product strategy from scratch, so this is all very helpful.

Appreciate it, Alex. Let me know if you have any ideas on how I can improve this collection.

Great article, lots of details, love how deep you went (even in the free version). I loved section 1.7. I tend to focus on segmentation and Price Margin Realization strategies. Would love to get your thoughts!
