Product Manager is a term that was borrowed from Industrial Manufacturing. Just like Software Engineers are not necessarily “Engineers” in a regulated profession sense, Product Managers in Software are basically glorified Requirements Analysts. What used to be senior Requirements Analysts during 1990s are Product Managers now. Basically you need to “speak the made up software Product Management lingo” watch YouTube videos. There are literally 1000s of hours of them with everyone and their grandma blathering their version of product management.

Basically the first step is start to think you are a product manager. Read the low quality crap your current product managers produced. It will turn out not to be to rocket science.
