What do product managers need to do their best work?

In efforts to develop comprehensive personas for each of GitLab's product areas, interviews with several product managers highlighted their roles, challenges, and motivations. The creation of the Product Manager Persona, Parker, encapsulates insights into the responsibilities of product managers, such as prioritizing feature requests, product roadmapping, and maintaining development progress. Challenges identified include communication issues, ensuring team members update tools like Jira, balancing strategic ambitions with practical constraints, and effectively communicating timelines and delays to stakeholders. Despite these challenges, product managers are driven by the goal of delivering high-quality features efficiently and enjoy the process of transforming concepts into solutions for users. This research aims to aid GitLab's product managers in enhancing features and making informed decisions.
