Customer-Focused PM

You're not necessarily technical or design focused, but wow do you love your customers and do you know them well. You've got a super high EQ which helps you stay in-tune with your customers.

Design-Focused PM

Design-Focused PM

Wow! Can you create beautiful designs. You're the PM that has the actual artistic, creativity to take your product to the next design level. You don't always keep in mind the small business technicalities or even the more difficult engineering possibilities, but you always have the user in mind.

When the product's main focus is user experience you're the go-to PM. You thrive when the key difference between products in the industry is user experience!

Business-Focused PM

Business-Focused PM

You're a fast talking, MBA, driven PM. You've got a strong understanding of the market and customer base for your product. Your main stressors are where the money is coming from, the landscape of the industry, partnerships and any potential tradeoffs.

You're not always aware of the specifics that go along with design or engineering, but you sure know what you're talking about when it comes to where the company sits in relation to competitors and how other similar products are performing in the market.

Look for products that are already established or in a competitive market.

Engineering-Focused PM

Engineering-Focused PM

Do you have an engineering or computer software degree? You sure are technical for a PM, but wow does that work in your favor. You don't focus too much on design and you know your customers, but not super well.

You do well with products that are more tech oriented for this exact reason.
