How to Level Up as a Product Manager

Are you a senior product manager and curious what is holding you back from making the move into management?

Are you a team leader who has a mixed track record of hiring quality product managers?

Join us for an online event to discuss how to level up as a product manager. Becoming a successful product manager requires you to not only master industry and domain knowledge, but also shape yourself into an effective and decisive leader.  Understanding best practices for discovery, working with engineering, and running A/B tests are all necessary for the job but not enough to make you one of the best.

The key to influencing without authority, leading cross-functionally, building a track record of delivering value for the business, and making good product hires is an understanding of the broad spectrum of knowledge, behaviors, and judgment required to be an effective PM.


Chris Petersen has spent his career in product management and during that time has developed a framework for coaching and developing product managers and leaders based on this broad perspective. Based on his own experience, hands-on application, and interviews with conversations with numerous product leaders, he has identified what actually predicts success as a product manager. In this talk you’ll learn about the various framework elements, why they are critical, and how to get started on your own training and development plan.
