We thought it’d be interesting to take a look back at what people predicted for product managers for 2021. We’ll leave it up to you to decide how good these folks were at predicting the future.

ProductCamp Online pulled together a panel including long-time product management experts Steve Johnson and Rich Mironov, JJ Rorie, Vice President at Sequent Learning Networks, David Nash, Vice President at 280 Group, with moderator Hector Del Castillo of Bold PM. The group discussed product management trends and perspectives and looked at predictions for the year ahead. In the face of unprecedented market shifts, exponentially changing buyer behavior, reduced team capacity, and new requirements for remote working, they discussed how product managers require an ever-increasing velocity and scale of analysis in terms of processing and access to accelerate innovation and forge new paths for their organizations to remain relevant.
