On the Roadmap Episode Overview

“When I was a Customer Advocate [at Atlassian], I knew I wanted to do something in tech. So, the first step was figuring out ‘what is actually out there?’ Once I decided product management was what I wanted to do, I had no idea how to get there. So, I talked to people in the company and asked their opinions on the skills they needed to be a PM. What I found was that the more I opened up and asked for advice, the more willing these people were to advocate for me in the future.”
