Ever felt the struggle between product development and getting the word out?
You're not alone! PMs (Product Managers) and PMMs (Product Marketing Managers) are the yin and yang of bringing a product to life, but sometimes things get...well, out of sync.
Introducing the 6 Friction Points of Product Glory by Aatir Abdul Rauf
- The Launch Date Circus: ️ PMMs plan campaigns, but then PMs unexpectedly push back launch dates, leaving marketing scrambling.
- Messaging Mishaps: PMMs craft epic descriptions, but PMs ground them in reality – sometimes a search filter isn't a "revolutionary" AI-powered tool.
- Priority Palooza: PMs and PMMs might disagree on what the market needs most. Should you fix bugs or add a "dark mode"?
- Communication Catastrophe: A lack of clear communication on features, limitations, and value propositions leads to marketing materials that miss the mark.
- Persona Smackdown: PMs and PMMs might have different ideas about the ideal customer, leading to wasted resources on personas that don't resonate.
- Go-to-Market Mismatch: PMs might push for a splashy social media launch, while PMMs know direct outreach is the best way to reach radiologists (who probably aren't on TikTok).
Let's bridge the gap!
