In the case of Internet product managers and project managers,
First, from the knowledge domain, the project manager requires a technical background, which is required, and the project manager of the general team is chaired by a very project-experienced Rd, whose job is to translate the goals into quantifiable and achievable project plans, with emphasis on the implementation level. And the Product manager's knowledge field is broader, and does not necessarily need to know the technology.
Second, from the responsibility cycle, the project manager responsibilities, he can finish a project, then seamlessly switch to another project, and the product manager basically can not, product manager with the product growth, product growth and change along with countless projects.
Third, the focus is different, the project manager key words: project, schedule, person month; Product Manager keywords: requirements, users, products.
Finally, if the product is compared to a child, then the product manager is the mother of the child, and the project manager is the child's growth process of a teacher, the teacher can teach different children, the primary school teacher can be the child from the first grade to six grade, the child graduated, the teacher to teach another group of students. So we understand the Product manager and project experience of the relationship between the teacher can change, and the child's mother can change it casually?
Finally add that the division of labor in large companies, product managers and project managers is very clear, but in startups and some small and medium-sized company product managers and project managers are usually one person, saving human and communication costs.
