  Developing Strong Product Managers

  Marty Cagan, Partner, Silicon Valley Product Group

  Marty provides a skills assessment tool for product managers that involves rating their importance and current capability on various dimensions like Product Knowledge, process skills, and people skills. It uses a gap analysis to identify areas for Coaching. The skills are rated on a 1-10 scale to determine where more development is needed. The manager then focuses a Coaching plan on closing the top 3 gaps. Regular weekly check-ins are recommended to track progress. Interestingly, Marty argues that the "associate product manager" level is unnecessary and that people should quickly be brought to full competence or helped to find a more suitable role. Overall, the tool aims to develop product managers through identifying and addressing skills gaps.
