What is the role of a software Product Manager?

Contents
A Software Product Manager is a market-obsessed person focused on delivering the most valuable version of a specific product that will maximize business objectives for an enterprise at every stage of product development.

The person in this role has a great deal of ownership and fulfills many roles from the intersection of business, user experience, and technology. As such, a Software Product Manager must have the ability to remain agile, which is why we adhere to Agile methodology.

Agile methodology can be described as one of the simplest and most effective processes to turn a vision for a business need into real, working software — it involves continuous planning, learning, improvement, cross-functional self-organizing team collaboration, and iterative development and delivery.


Software Product Management is a bridge between sales, marketing, and customer support driven by empathy. A Software Project Manager helps to

  • Achieve business objectives
  • Bridges communication gaps
  • Aligns a common vision with the tech team
  • Focuses on user needs
  • Represents the user inside a company

Why research is vital for your product?

In-depth research is core for a Product Manager. Being a voice for the market requires tremendous and up-to-date market knowledge, followed by tracing and identifying market trends and significant economic changes.

User research provides in-depth insights that ease the decision-making process. An important source of information also comes through a competitive analysis. Data-driven qualitative and quantitative research helps you make the right decisions.

Why is validation a business life-saver?

An idea that is not verified is just a hypothesis. A key Product Manager responsibility is to ask thought-provoking questions and to cultivate answers. Before launching a product or a new feature, a Product Manager must validate an existing problem and a given solution for specific target groups. Customer feedback enables a product to grow in the right direction or pivot when necessary.

There are many experiments and approaches to validate your assumptions. However, having experiments designed incorrectly leads to false and damaging results. A Product Manager is capable of running low-fidelity experiments requiring smaller investment and fewer assets as well as more complex, high-fidelity experiments, adequate to product needs. Credible validation reduces the risk of a product or feature failure and raises the chance of your product succeeding.

What are the key aims of product management?

Product management is an organizational function within a business that deals with product development and justification. It focuses on bringing a new and effective product to market or developing an existing product. Product management examples include:

  • Building
  • Measuring
  • Improving

As a whole, a product management strategy should look to identify and reflect the value the product does or will bring to its users.

Essentially, the key aim of product management is to find answers to fundamental product questions: What user problem does our product solve? How does it achieve that better than the competition?

The product management process is about finding the right audience for your idea and identifying the key features that will help you cut through to the audience. It’s a key step in validating your business idea to increase your chances of success.

Why communication is key in product management?

Dealing with dozens of internal and external stakeholders requires being a great speaker and aligning a common vision within an organization. Communication skills, great storytelling and public speaking skills, and high emotional intelligence play a key role in the everyday life of a Product Manager.

A universal tool to maintain transparency and clarity within an organization is a product roadmap, representing an understandable, high-level concept of the product. A Product Manager ensures every person in the organization is aligned with a common goal.

How is product management applied in different industries?

Businesses in all industries can benefit from product management services. Every business, for example, performs some sort of service or sells some sort of product that needs a specific approach and requires certain knowledge. Finance is one example.

In a fintech or banking product, it is required to cope with legal affairs and security. The same applies in retail, for example in the development of food and grocery delivery apps, where UX and internal processes play key roles.

Netguru specializes in product management for a range of diverse industries, from the legal example we shared above to working with family banking companies, and much more.

Enabling digital transformation in the real estate industry

Netguru and Keller Williams came together to develop innovative new products for its 190,000 agents.

Keller Williams is the largest real estate franchise in the world, with more than 190,000 agents.

In 2015, Keller Williams (KW) decided to reposition itself as a tech company, which required the development of numerous new products.

The company invested heavily in its own software, the cloud, and AI. It created its own Labs division, KW Labs, which works in a similar fashion to Google and Amazon’s labs.

Netguru brought all of its product management and software expertise to help make these products successful. One of KW’s signature products is Kelle, dubbed the “Siri for the real estate industry”.

Shopping made personal with the IKEA personal assistant experience concept

How Netguru developed a personal assistant concept to transform IKEA’s online shopping experience.

IKEA reinvented the furniture shopping experience by making it more personal to their customers. In order to translate the uniquely physical experience of shopping in IKEA, Netguru’s product management team designed a concept for an online personal assistant to help customers move through the product catalog more seamlessly.

To do this, we ran research interviews, conducted brainstorming sessions, ran test scenarios, and created the visual design, running the entire product management process.

Frequently asked questions

If you have any other questions, please get in touch with our team.

Why are Product Managers important?

Product Managers are a guiding hand for your team. They are responsible for assisting in building products that surpass business objectives and solve customer needs. In summary, they maximize success at every step of the product's life-cycle by managing a team's timeline and quality of work, allowing the team to reach a potential that they never thought possible.

What is the difference between a Product Manager and a Project Manager?

A Product Manager is someone who discovers what users need and prioritizes what to build next, rallying the team around a product roadmap. In contrast, a Project Owner is responsible for internal processes, procedural work, timeline, and budgeting.

What is Agile Product Management?

Agile Product Management is essentially how it sounds. It encourages an adaptive approach to product planning and implementation by quickly responding to feedback. This information helps to build products that customers want and need.

Is Product Management something for your business?

Much depends on the type of your organization, your product, your current needs, problems, requirements, and the product knowledge, skills, and resources that you need. Schedule a commitment-free meeting with us and let us look at your business with our product eyes.

Why is strategy planning important to your business?

Strategy planning is a key to success — finding a way to reach for the top, then executing the plan and measuring results. Apart from formulating a strategy, a product expert also coordinates its execution with relevant teams. Setting and measuring objectives and key results helps to effectively drive growth.
