What’s the ideal background for today’s web3 product manager? I used to think engineering but more and more we need to be challenging UX standards in web3, and our PMs might be better off coming in from the product design world. [strong opinion, loosely held]

Honestly you don't need to be a PM or a designer to have taste, product sensibility and know how to define metrics, experiment and iterate.

The ideal product manager often changes depending on where you are in a products life cycle. If the product suit is large enough to support multiple product managers it is usually a good idea to have different kinds of pms on the team so they cross pollinate.

Good PMs understand and appreciate all disciplines and how to get the best out of each. The best background is just a strong connection with the user they are serving.

Having swing or tech skills is def helpful, but business and people leadership skills (influence without authority) is what it takes. PMs at the most successful companies don’t do solution design or engineering work. And if they do, then it’s a matter of time until the business gets rid of them (e.g. Airbnb)

I would say that it's driven by the focus of the product. If the product success will be driven by best technical features, technical background should be mandatory (few products). If product success will be driven by anything else PM background should be linked to it (most products). Should be same in web2 btw.

It’s an interesting take. I have even seed some blog posts about UX’ers moving into PM’ing to take on more control, for lack of a better word
