Abstract	The role of product management (PM) has undergone significant transformation over the past several decades. What was once primarily a tactical role, often equated with project management and execution, has evolved into a strategic, cross-functional leadership position that plays a critical role in driving business success. This whitepaper explores the historical evolution of the product manager role, highlighting key factors such as the influence of Agile methodologies, the rise of data-driven decision-making, and the growing emphasis on customer-centric product development. By examining these factors, we will understand how modern product managers contribute not only to the development of products but also to shaping organizational strategy, aligning cross-functional teams, and fostering innovation [1].
