Session Summary:
Product management is a complex role which varies widely from company

Even harder is to get recognition for your contributions from your peers/constituents in Sales, Marketing, Engineering and Operations.Each sees only a portion of what product management does, yet canblock your career advancement. This discussion will cover the expectations and typical friction points between PM and other key groups, and how to create product management champions in other organizations.
