As designers, sometimes we want to swap from one role to another. User Experience is arguably the best foundation for becoming a Product Manager, but it will only get you part of the way there.

“More and more, designers are grappling with product management—as a peer discipline, as the job title of a boss or teammate, and as a future career destination.”

User experience designers and researchers are wrestling with product management or simply wondering exactly what it entails.

This show will pass through some questions like:

is natural the transition from design to product management?

What is the designer´s motivation to want to be a product manager?

What are the common things and overlapping responsibilities between design and product?

Why do you think is important for a designer to know about product management?

For this, we invited Christian Crumlish an author of the bestselling "Product Management for UX People: From Designing to Thriving in a Product World", "The Internet for Busy People" and "The Power of Many", and co-author of "Designing Social Interfaces". He is a product and UX leadership consultant at Design in Product, where he also hosts a product/UX community. He is currently leading the product management of covid19.ca.gov and consulting on govtech product practices with California's Office of Digital Innovation.

The past year we decided to start this new project called Good Morning UX, an extension of another show called Bom Dia UX, with such special-international guests. Actually, we invited a lot of professionals who are references for us and that have so much history in our industry.
