Product Management Manifesto 	I am a certified product management professional. 		I am dedicated to bringing great products to market.  Products that delight my customers.  Products that are massively profitable for my company.  Products that help change the way people work and live.
		In the course of managing my products there are thousands of small decisions that must be made and tasks that must be accomplished.   		The sum of these can add up to a phenomenal product.   		I choose to own the responsibility for making this happen.
I am an expert in all areas regarding my products: customers,  the market,  technology,  competition,  channels,  press,  analysts,  trends and  everything else that must be taken into account in order to win.
		I have a strong vision for my products and develop winning strategies that align with my company's goals and ensure that our investments of time, money and energy are well-spent.
		I am committed to using the best methodologies, tools, templates and techniques available to be more efficient and effective at my job.
	I have a plan for my career and I will further my professional status by attending training courses, being certified and reading books, blogs and newsletters to learn best practices.
		I am the voice of my customers and represent them in every critical decision that is made.
I am a leader.  I develop strong alliances with everyone   that  I need to in order to ensure the success of my product.  This includes  sales people,  engineers,  support,  marketing,  customers,  channel and business partners,  management,  the Board of Directors  and anyone else necessary.   Some of these people will be very difficult to work with, but I will find a way to make everyone successful as a team.
	I refuse to settle for mediocrity and I will be tenacious and professional in my approach to getting the best possible results.  
		I believe that Product Management is one of the toughest, yet most rewarding jobs in the world.  Though I will face great odds and challenges, I refuse to become jaded or negative.
	Though I have all of the responsibility, it is highly likely that I have little or no formal authority.  Therefore I will do whatever it takes to persuade others to do what is right for customers and my company.
