I was a business analyst and I was having a customer-facing role collecting requirements. Then I realized through my research that product management is an area which is a smooth transition and I came across the Institute of Product Leadership and their hands-on learning model. Before IPL, there were a lot of things I didn't know about product management. But after doing the course, I picked up a lot of Frameworks and Product Skills. There's also a lot of showcasing of your own ideas from what you learn. Now product management has become a way of life for me.
