Getting acclimated as a PM again
I’ve been at my new job as a product owner for almost a month now. While it’s been extremely exciting, it’s been humbling as well. Prior to this, my last PM experience was almost three years ago due to the hiring shifts that have impacted the industry.
I am probably being extremely hard on myself right now, but I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience. I think my biggest weakness right now is explaining or talking through things. I had a meeting a few days ago where my manager asked me to lead the discussion for a ticket, and I went so fast that they had to step in and add additional context 😂 Granted, it was my first time talking through anything here, but that’s how nervous I was.
In contrast, my PM operational skills are still there, but those can always be strengthened as well.
Any tips or advice?
