Why Does an Analyst Make a Bad Product Manager? And What Can Be Done About It

For some people, being an analyst is a profession where you can grow your entire life, but I found it confining, so I moved into product management and immediately started encountering obstacles that my work as an analyst had helped me to avoid.

I will share insights into the analytical skills that hinder a product manager from being maximally effective, what can be done about them, and how to mitigate their impact.

Certainly, I will also cover the skills that have helped me successfully develop in the product profession and that can be honed while you are still an analyst.

And for those not interested in a path to product management, I will explore a couple of other development paths from my ex-analyst colleagues.
