Another trend we've seen in the industry is that organizations are increasingly focused on enhancing their product management capabilities. Many are already comfortable with project management for initiatives, but as they adopt software packages, digital products, and operational technologies that don’t follow a typical start-and-finish rhythm, they require ongoing product oversight.

These products are intended to last indefinitely, so the need for product management becomes critical. One of the major advantages of product management is its adaptability — it allows teams to quickly respond to market trends or evolving customer needs.

In a product management model, particularly one with dedicated funding, products are funded for the full fiscal period (a year, a quarter, or even longer), allowing product managers to make timely adjustments without needing repeated funding approvals.

This autonomy gives product managers the flexibility to respond efficiently to changes and potentially outpace competitors, something that would be difficult in more rigid, project-based models that require constant reauthorization to pivot or update the roadmap.
