Product management trends for 2023 include a focus on retention, a broader role for product managers, and different approaches to product-led growth (PLG). Retention is becoming more important as companies aim to scale from within by aligning with customer needs. The PM role is expanding beyond traditional responsibilities, requiring skills in market research, user experience design, data analysis, and cross-functional teamwork. Companies are also choosing different flavors of PLG based on their target buyers' expectations and buying behavior. Other emerging trends include theme-based roadmapping, clear product vision, flexible workplaces for productivity, using AI for customer insights, and the increasing need for holistic product operations.
