What would you recommend to someone who is trying to break into the project management space?
Devika Nair
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Director of Product Management • July 20
For Product Management, my general advice is to experiment with it. Try to understand your customers and market, define the product vision and work through requirements for your features. You can also go through exercises with side projects.
For Project Management, I don't have personal experience, but I would say try getting hands on experience alongside your current role is the best path.
