Product Manager (PM)

As a Product Manager, your responsibilities include:

• NPO Communication: You will be your team's primary channel of communication with the assigned non-profit organization (NPO). You are responsible for ensuring that your team is meeting the NPO’s specifications. One important tip is to consider guiding the discussion from the target user’s perspective.

• Project Planning: The goal is to implement an Agile (Scrum) project methodology. Alongside your Technical Lead, you will assist in the bi-weekly/monthly planning to ensure that your team meets your goals.

• Building Team Culture: As much as this is an opportunity to develop something tangible, it is also an opportunity to be part of a community where we can learn from each other! At the end of the day, your team members are students, and we want everyone’s experience to be rewarding and fun. While most of your team’s work may be done asynchronously, implementing practices such as pair programming, or hosting live in-person work sessions can prevent your team from feeling isolated.

• (Optional) Developing: The product manager is a leadership role, so the aforementioned responsibilities would be expected, however you are more than welcome to assist in the developing to help build your own skill set and be more informed about the project.
