Dela Peña, Gracelyn T. Manages Product or Product Management is a process that focuses on bringing a new product to market or developing an existing one. It starts with an idea of a product that a customer will interact with and ends with the evaluation of the product’s success. Product Management unites business, product development, marketing, and sales. Studies show that effective product management can increase profit by 34.2 percent proving the importance of its implementation. The Importance of Product Management Product Management helps in keeping up with market trends. Product Management principles require teams (and product managers) to interact with existing customers regularly and analyze feedback. This can lead to issues getting fixed sooner and new features getting adopted before the rest of the market wises up.
