Data Product Management
Murli presents an introduction to data product management, outlining what data products are and the role of a data product manager (PM)—someone who treats data as the product, not just a tool. Data PMs act as quarterbacks, coordinating cross-functional teams to build products like dashboards or raw data feeds tailored to diverse users, from machine learning engineers to marketers. He emphasizes understanding the data flow—how data is captured, stored, analyzed, and used. Key skills include data fluency, stakeholder alignment, and emotional intelligence. Murli also shares pitfalls: over-listening to solutions instead of problems, engaging too many vendors, and adopting unproven tools too early. His advice: understand your consumers, communicate well, and build trust and empathy in cross-functional settings.
