About a month ago I jumped onto a Google Hangout with Jason Shah, product manager at Yammer, to talk to him about “How to get into product management”. See above for the recording of the live stream and check out some of Jason’s other interviews if you’re interested in a career in product management!

Get into Product Management – Keep the Customer Front of Mind!

Jason also blogs on http://blog.jasonshah.org and if you want to learn more about how to get into product management, sign up for the Udemy course “You’re Hired: How to Get a Job in Product Management” here: https://www.udemy.com/how-to-get-a-job-in-product-management/.

As I explain in the interview, my first steps were along the age old tradition of ‘learning by doing’ and remembering that it all comes down to the user being happy. In that sense, my early experience as a customer support agent were extremely helpful as they really allowed me to engrave this principle in my way of working.
