A recent survey conducted by Product Management Festival found that the number one reason why PMs leave their roles is because of a lack of opportunities to grow. Worse only 15.5% of respondents stated that developing people and capabilities was a top focus of their organization. Couple this with 35% of Product Managers stating that a ‘lack of role clarity’ was one of their top 3 challenges it would suggest that one of the most impactful things you can do as a Product Leader for your team and organization is to provide clarity around roles and career progression. One of the best tools in my experience for this is having a solid competency framework.
