Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/24/2017 -- Mitch Smith, Hytrol's Director of Product Management, recently discussed how every process and every product should add value for the customer. "In the traditional method of business, an engineer may design product technology, a marketing team will research the best way to showcase a product, and business development will connect end users with your business. Product management utilizes all three roles, and creates a structure and takes responsibility for the overall process. The product manager must be fluent in all three areas to be able to take a product from its beginning stages to the end result," noted Smith.
The benefits of having a product manager on board are:
1. Strengthen collaboration between internal teams. The product manager is responsible for creating a structure that teams will work within, and to work collaboratively across the environment.
2. Have a universal translator for technical information. The product manager works as a universal translator between processes, so that each employee can dedicate themselves to developing the skillsets that will best serve the customer in their current role.
3. Clearly defines expectations. By creating clearly defined expectations for a process, a product manager constructs a system in which each process is informed by and helps another.
4. Aligns market needs. A product manager examines and analyzes market research, so the product can be differentiated and provide value to the customer.
5. Reduces risk of product failure. The product manager is immersed in the customer's world, the market changes and the changes needed for existing products.
