What is Product Management?
Product Management is a multidimensional discipline that involves overseeing the entire lifecycle of a product. It includes defining the product vision, planning and executing the product roadmap, coordinating cross-functional teams, and ensuring the end product meets both business goals and user needs.

Key Responsibilities of Product Management:
- Vision and Strategy: Crafting a long-term vision and strategy for the product.
- Roadmap Planning: Developing a roadmap to navigate the product's journey from concept to launch.
- Stakeholder Management: Aligning the interests and needs of all stakeholders involved in the product lifecycle.
- User-Centered Design: Ensuring that the product meets the end-users' needs and provides an exceptional user experience.
