Hi All,

Today I'm going to deep dive into the similarities and differences between product managers and project managers.

Questions we'll strive to answer:
1. What is a product manager?
2. What is a project manager?
3. What are the similarities between a project vs a product manager?
4. What are the differences between a project manager vs a product manager?
5. Which role is better: product manager or project manager?
6. How do I decide for myself and based on my career goals which job is a better fit?

I'll also go through a framework on how to think about each role to determine which is better for you:
1. Are you strategic or tactile thinker? Product management is more strategic whereas project managers really focus on the tangible and specific details.
2. Do you like variety in your job or do you want to focus and deep-dive on one topic? Product managers are going to be experts in their products, whereas Project managers will have more variety since their projects will end and they will be given new projects.
