I had dinner with Camille after swimming at the Z-center. Camille
mentioned something interesting during our conversation. Being a
product manager, he said the following: When you are a product manager,
be sure to be involved with either the marketing side of things or the
product design and development side of things. Either way, the work is
appealing and interesting. However, if you are not involved in
marketing or product development, chances are you are dealing with the
mundane day-to-day operations, which can make the job of a product
manager boring.
Speaking of product design & development, I found this article on 15.980/ESD.936 - Product Design & Development (a class I am currently taking at MIT) while surfing the Internet.
