Telling the story of a product career

I was on the Mind The Product podcast with Randy Silver recently, and got to talk about a few favourite ideas: how to think about the shape of your product career, and what makes a good product “biography.” Designers have portfolios, engineers have GitHub contributions – what does a PM point to when he or she wants to illustrate their progression? 

We also talked about the tension in a product career between running the team, the product, the department – and the need to go deep into the creative part of your skills to problem solve.
