Product Management in a startup is like a journey to unknown destination. In most software startups, the direction changes 3-4 times before the startup either has a successful exit or closes for business.
These changes in direction pose a big challenge for PM team . The PM team is the connecting link between engineering and sales. The responsibility of aligning the engineering with the new direction lies with PM. This might not only mean change in product features, new technology development but also change the way QA and development teams think.
This alignment, if not done in a timely manner can result in people rowing the boat in different directions. Imagine white water rafting where two rowers are not aligned and the raft keeps going in circles and does not move forward.
