Business 👩🏻💻 is viability of the project
Tech is 🔨 feasibility of the tech or how ready is the crowd.

Responsibilities of the PM
Adjusted diagram
Diversity of PM roles
The role evolves based on the specific needs of the product and the company. It is defined by the set of things you do.
🏃♂️ User side: user research, how they interact with the product, designing against the user’s needs, branding and marketing
📚 Business side: viable business goal, unit economics, run financial models
💻 Technology: engineering and maintaining, making sure things scale
Can’t be an expert in all, but can have a superpower. There are people who are subject matter experts in specific areas, but PM is looking to balance all three dimensions together.
