These managers understand products better and have much less help than APM’s. They also begin interviewing candidates for first and second year APM’s. Next, there is PM2’s. PM2’s get by with almost little or no help from their higher ups. After PM2’s, there is the PM3’s. These managers play a much larger role when it comes to creating new products. After product managers, there are the Senior Product Managers. The Senior Product Managers interact frequently with Vice Presidents of the company and are above the Group Product Managers. The Group Product Managers take a very large role when it comes to organizing teams. These managers also serve as spokespeople for the product itself. They examine teams and products. Finally, there are the Directors. The Directors create and set the ideas for products or features for products. Directors have an immense impact and reach over a lot of different types of products.
