If it wasn't clear, i'm a product manager that started in project management.

The real problem is product management is hot, project management is old.

I've been around the block enough times at different companies to form that opinion and thats OK. Product management is consistently project management with extra steps. Those steps being business and market analysis to solve customer problems.

It seems businesses are starting to realize that.

What you're saying isn't new. It's part of the Product Manager job description. They have to organize their teams to achieve their vision. Even CEOs do project management if the company is small enough. Every founder does project management too. So do engineering managers and individual engineers.
