What a great video, really enjoy your channel and the information you share! (so thank you for helping me grow!) If there's one thing I could ask, is a video that compare a product owner to a product manager and you thoughts on this.... (sorry if you already did one, not gone to it yet hah!)
This is a good description of an entry level product management position. It's a narrow slice of what product managers are responsible as they grow in the career. So, for those interested in the function, this leads to roles where you'll manage teams, gain responsibility for product strategy, multi-functional product launches, business/pricing models, ROI/NPV, innovation and customer research, and ultimately, if interested, a general management role.
You know this video was made by a great PM because a great PM knows how to build products for their audience. And you've definitely hit it out of the park with this one! Succinct information, clear laid out examples, fun laidback atmosphere, striking visuals. I mean well done! From one fellow PM to another, bravo! You earned yourself a sub :)
I loved the % breakdown of work you mentioned. That is SO accurate. The meetings are the most time consuming part of this role. I just finished my first year as a Product Manager and I am loving my career. Thanks so much for this video.
It's definitely a balancing act of meetings and building the documentation for our teams. The larger challenge I see is keeping the teams on point of the scope of work. Essential why the documentation is needed up front to keep folks focused. Too many times have I seen our meetings go down rabbit holes. So glad you're enjoying your first year! After being in various roles, PM is my fav as well. Going on year 7 as a PM.
Any particular suggestions when starting to look for this positions? In terms of interviewing, how much coding one does (I prefer to do some coding), etc
This is by far, the best video I've seen about what a PM does. Thank you so much. I loved how you used examples with the theory and the flow you brought to it. Amazing
I am currently a TPM, tranistioning into a product manager role. You have done a great job explaining the role of product manager very well, thank you for the details and video. 💥💥
Very nicely articulated. I’m finding more and more that not even recruiters, people operations or senior leadership get what we do which is disappointing. It’s such a valuable role that sits between a lot of moving parts. Great job!
it's super disappointing when senior leadership doesn't even get it :( glad you enjoyed this breakdown! i do think this is an older explanation of my product role where the eng team was more waterfall than anything. will probably need to do a new one!
Hi Haley!! Ahh thank you for the kind comment! Glad you found it well thought-out. Def trying to put more tech content out there to demystify these processes!
@@chloeshih definitely! I'm not a PM but I work with PM for >5 years in the bay. I really think this is one of the best summary to describe product launches to anyone, tenured or entry level. You made it sound simple enough, but also covers all the important details. Excited to see more of your content!
This video is fantastic! I’m a Business Analyst who kind of fell into the tech industry with no formal background, so I feel like there are some industry practices and tools that I’m not fully aware of. I’m interviewing to be a Product Manager and it feels really intimidating, but this video really puts it all into perspective. From the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU!
@@chloeshih yea of course! Just off the top of my head I’m curious if you follow any industry leaders to learn different perspectives or skills, how active are you on LinkedIn or how you go about networking, and how you prepare moving from one role to another in what seems to be quick turn arounds (a year or so)?
Besides the technical know how, your energy, personality and attitude is a huge enabler to be a good PM in my opinion. Who want to become a PM must learn to become socially as "good" as you are. Besides that, I see you hitting 1M subscribers in the near future, just by doing your thing!
Holy smokes! This painted such a detailed picture as if I were a product manager already! I even felt the anxiety when you mentioned the 200+ emails! Thanks so much Chloe! I appreciate the share!
This is very informative. I work in the B2B space, so my understanding of product is different. It's pretty eye-opening for me to hear that there could be a product manager for something as simple as buttons. Your video made me realize that a consumer tech app isn't just a single product, but a conglomeration of multiple products. I can see why there would be worry of feature cannibalization.
Yesss! B2B and consumer tech is totallyyy different. Feature cannibalization is one of the main fears of any feature being rolled out. There's also always a ton of conflict between different teams with different North Stars. Some of them actually oppose each other, and there's a fine balance we need to strike. Org structures can get really complicated!
Great summary. I'm just about to start my first Technical Product Manager role, coming in from a completely different industry and background, and this helpful overview has given me more confidence to trust my existing skillset to make it work!
@@Angeliz225 Must have made a good impression with some other work which yielded good results I did in my current role, and was asked if I was interested in a newly created product role in the digital side of the company. "Right place, right time"
Thank you, Chloe, great insight into your profession. I am a technical recruiter who has also worked on customer-facing teams at SaaS companies. It is one thing for me to think of different roles based on my understanding of colleagues on other teams at the tech companies I have worked, but this is even more helpful to understand what you do as a PM that is from company-agnostic perspective.
Commenting for the algorithm BECAUSE THIS WAS SO INFORMATIVE! Never realized how much over lap there was with UX Design in the early stages. Would love to learn more about how you put together your PRDs!
JON THANK YOU SO MUCH!! haha "for the algorithm"~ yes, I work wtih UI/UX super closely! It's so important to start off together since there are so many design iterations that go through. My PRDs are pretty different from what FB-type ones. It's insanely detailed. They're Amazon-like than anything. They're longgggg and full of data narratives and specifications. I can break this down in the future too! Sounds really boring though xD
Omgggg!! Amazinnnnggg! :D I'm so glad you found me here too haha. Glad this stuff is helpful and thank you so much for the kind comment. Encourages me to do more ^_^
Thank you for sharing this information l. As a recruiting firm, we are continuously looking for ways to improve how we service our clients. This video provides a clear outline of how we can improve on our service and focus on customer experience and retention! ❤
I was asked this question by someone yesterday and this description is well put together compared to how I said mine. Quite similar but yours is so much better 😂
Thank you so much, Chloe! I am currently working as a product development at a startup in my country. And all your explanations are essential and very helpful for me. You really guide me well. Once again, thank you very much!
I worked as a Product Marketing Intern at Amazon and was kinda thrown into the Product Management/Development Process without knowing the whys and hows. I learned a lot but your perspective on Product Management really helped me understand all the processes we went through and all the meetings I had to attend. Given the short time as an Intern I couldn't see the full effect of every document or meeting but now, I do see the benefit of all that. Thanks a lot
Hey, thanks a ton! This video was terribly valuable, even as a current tech PM. A lot of these issues that I've been facing some challenges with were really well put into perspective.
Thank you so much! This was so helpful and just what I needed to direct my path. I majored in editing,writing and media so Project Management has always been an interest of mine 🌱 Thank you again!
I'd like to point out and clarify that there's a very large gulf between project management and PRODUCT management, and hopefully you haven't got them mixed up? They're two extremely different fields.
fellow PM youtuber here, and I often get asked by college students what it is that I do as a PM, but I've always struggled with how to best capture the role - you've done just that so well with this video (love the visuals and editing as well)! I'll definitely be sending people over to this video to learn more!
Seriously. That was a really informative video on what a PM does, where you have delivered tons of quite hard to understand tasks and responsibilities in a simple to grasp fun way, with some great examples, exactly at the point where I'm thinking "err.. I sorta get what you are saying .. I think" I really didn't know that much before about the role so it was perfect for me to get this really enjoyable overview. Your pie overview at the end also really insightful. For me it was 10/10
Ooohh yes that's a hot topic. It's a tough one to tackle bc there are very few entry level PM roles (unless you go with the APM/RPM roles at Uber, Google, Facebook, Tesla, etc.) Even those don't always have new grads. A lot of them have industry hires too. I can go over it for sure. It was a long journey for me breaking in as well and I've got a few tactics that helped me. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Thanks for the elaborate video on what Product Managers do! Could you maybe also elaborate on the most important technical skills needed if planning to move into a PM role?
Awesome video! I would only highlight the fact that your points are mostly applicable to what it’s like to work as a PM in relatively large tech companies. While the skills for startup PMs are pretty identical, the scope of responsibilities is usually quite different (i.e. 1 PM managing multiple product initiatives, less engineering resources, faster launches, etc.)
First comment on TH-cam, gotta to say this content is well-structured, really brings me a lot of insights on what a Product Manager is and what specific tasks they'll do in a real-world environment.
Thank you, Chloe! Your video is very insightful about a product manager. So good, it gives me chills! I am a QA tester, looking for an opportunity in product management. Everything you’ve said in this video is really helpful to breakdown what need to be understand and to do as a product manager. I guess i need to follow you now 😍
Thanks for sharing your experience, that was super informative and useful. I've been trying to make the move from engineering to product management for a long time and I'm taking lots of notes from watching your videos.
This is such a great video! I am graduating as an industrial production designer in the upcoming few months and thinking of where to go in my career. I am a very conceptual user centered maker. I don’t want to physically “make” each and every part of the concept but I do like: Understanding the need and why, the avatar, the story, the overall concept, solution, connecting stakeholders to it, the financial gain of the concept and the “how”. I was thinking that maybe product management could be something for me to look into? But I also really like teaching, explaining, coaching. So was also thinking of becoming an advocate.
Love the expression and happiness in your thumbnail face ^_^ that I had to watch you here... and he’s product managers make really good 😌 glad to hear someone like you enjoying your career!
Thank you so much!! Woohoo another fellow PM!! :D Lmk what topics you think might be interesting for me to share my thoughts on. I feel like the PM space is such a hidden world sometimes!
Would love to hear you talk about things like imposter syndrome (if that’s something you ever deal with) and maybe some specific examples of features you worked through (if you’re able to, of course!) - that’s all that comes to mind for now! Looking forward to more content! :D
Not really, partially yes, but i will add problem identification and solution development also. You can have a lot of potential improvements and prioritize it, but when all of it solving wrong problems, then it means nothing
Thank you for the informative video. I am currently working as a Financial Controller but looking to make a career switch and I think a Product Manager role will be a good fit for me.
Thanks for sharing this video Chloe, I’m trying to pivot from merchandise/demand planning to product management and the things you mentioned are skills I currently have just not tech related
I already did! Been following you on your moving house, getting on Forbes 30 Under 30, launching your Server One PDT on Discord and your backlog of vlogs. I like it that you're always upbeat, bubbly and keep things informative, but succinct. It's also good to see that you're from Asian background but made it really well in a competitive field. I love your work ethics, coz a few years ago I worked for a start up where I was cutting everybody's slack. Felt like I was doing years of work in months. Good thing AI is out now. Have a great week ahead! 你好可爱，加油!! ❤🎉🎉
Love this video tons! You might have nudge me out of my comfort zone in corporate world as a BA to now trying to pursue the PM role. Yeah…. Daunting yet exciting!
As your 500th comment, I must say - GREAT VIDEO ^_^! As a Production Management major at the Fashion Institute of Technology, while learning a Project Management as well Re Google, I have a better grasp as to on a macro level what is needed for optimal production and product release and your video is a great summation. Thank you^ _^!
Thank you! It was interesting ;) I'm also working as PM, but in small companies 100-200 employees, building main functionality. Documentation takes only 10% of time, usually development team does all documentation. Really cool job, very diverse, with big area of responsibility and at the same time freedom. And well payed ;)
I was super interested and excited to see how interesting this job seemed until I saw the amount of meetings... Design process seems super interesting to do though.
Omg it truly is death by meetings. And it’s usually the type of meetings where you have to be super engaged and have intense discussions to make decisions. But yes design process is the fun part!
I can't phantom how someone like her can have 3.5K subs and some others doing nothing pretty much getting 500K+. But anyway, subbed. Great content, thanks for giving actual value in videos. Hope you continue to grow quickly and others pick up on your great work!
Thanks Chloe! Super helpful hearing about your role and responsibilities. Working with UX very closely and we often find (and struggle : P) with the overlap as far as understanding the users.

Looking forward to more content! :D
As an EA for a PM org - this is the best breakdown of the role and roadmapping I’ve ever heard ! If I could love this video I would ! Subscribed! 💜
I love the percentage breakdown.
Super detail video. I really get a bit understanding about the role. Key takeaway : 'Prioritisation' is the key to success as a PM
Not really, partially yes, but i will add problem identification and solution development also. You can have a lot of potential improvements and prioritize it, but when all of it solving wrong problems, then it means nothing
Finally a realistic insight on what is done and how it's done. Thank you ❤️
Chloe, you have explained it very well! we as PM's wear many hats !!!
So exciting..... I am in love with product management
Thank you for the informative video. I am currently working as a Financial Controller but looking to make a career switch and I think a Product Manager role will be a good fit for me.
i'm glad to hear!! i do think this video is somewhat outdated. I might make a new one now that i've worked at more companies!
Great video! I’m learning product marketing myself
that's awesome! excellent career path!
Wow you just set my new goal! You’re so cool that i wonder what is your age since the responsibility is quite tough and you look young! Respect!
Thanks for sharing this video Chloe, I’m trying to pivot from merchandise/demand planning to product management and the things you mentioned are skills I currently have just not tech related
Thank you! Love what you're doing 😊
woo! this is quite an old video though - i just posted an updated video so might be worth checking that one instead!
I already did! Been following you on your moving house, getting on Forbes 30 Under 30, launching your Server One PDT on Discord and your backlog of vlogs. I like it that you're always upbeat, bubbly and keep things informative, but succinct. It's also good to see that you're from Asian background but made it really well in a competitive field. I love your work ethics, coz a few years ago I worked for a start up where I was cutting everybody's slack. Felt like I was doing years of work in months. Good thing AI is out now.
Have a great week ahead! 你好可爱，加油!! ❤🎉🎉
Great job on explaining what a PM does! 🙌🏾
Wooo! Glad it was helpful to you ~
About to have a Product Manager interview today and this helped a ton. Thank you!
What is an ROI? 1:15. But it is nice to hear what your job is, prior to that. That you launch features.
Great job laying all of this out, Thanks Chloe!
Appreciate the comment, Shamel! Glad it was helpful. :) Let me know if there are other topics you'd like me to dive into!

This was so insightful ❤
Thank you for this video, Chloe! Your role break down at the end was especially helpful. Cheers!
As your 500th comment, I must say - GREAT VIDEO ^_^!
As a Production Management major at the Fashion Institute of Technology, while learning a Project Management as well Re Google, I have a better grasp as to on a macro level what is needed for optimal production and product release and your video is a great summation. Thank you^ _^!
omg haha 500th comment, woo!! so glad you found the video helpful!
This was super super insightful. Been combing through a bunch of PM videos. Thank you Chloe..
This video is soo good for a person who really doesn't have any knwlg about product manager role... I love it... Subscribe
Thank you! It was interesting ;)
I'm also working as PM, but in small companies 100-200 employees, building main functionality. Documentation takes only 10% of time, usually development team does all documentation. Really cool job, very diverse, with big area of responsibility and at the same time freedom. And well payed ;)
This is cool. I just started my product management course and this video came up in suggestions 😍 😍
I was super interested and excited to see how interesting this job seemed until I saw the amount of meetings... Design process seems super interesting to do though.
Omg it truly is death by meetings. And it’s usually the type of meetings where you have to be super engaged and have intense discussions to make decisions. But yes design process is the fun part!
So a cool video. You really explained who PM is.
I can't phantom how someone like her can have 3.5K subs and some others doing nothing pretty much getting 500K+. But anyway, subbed. Great content, thanks for giving actual value in videos. Hope you continue to grow quickly and others pick up on your great work!
Aw thank you, Olivier! Appreciate the kind words and support!
Thanks Chloe! Super helpful hearing about your role and responsibilities. Working with UX very closely and we often find (and struggle : P) with the overlap as far as understanding the users.
Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful!!
