Product managers have it rough. On the hook for building the right product at the right time, they have all the accountability and virtually none of the responsibility for getting it done. If the product is rife with bugs, doesn’t sell or is difficult to use, you point the finger straight at the product manager. Look under the hoods of any product failure and you’ll find--not always, but often--a burned out and uninspired development team standing next to her. And you know what? You can often blame the product manager for that, too.
