Congratulations @Anuradha Patil 🎉 on your new role as a Product Manager! Anuradha's journey started in telecom testing as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), understanding business flows and making sure software matched real-world use cases. Over 9 years, she became the go-to person for the product's details and business understanding. In 2020, she moved internally to become a Product Owner. Her work focused on breaking down features, working with stakeholders, and making sure the execution went smoothly. She also stepped in whenever use cases weren’t clear, helping PMs and stakeholders define them better. Now, in 2024, she’s officially a Product Manager! This role is about shaping product features, making decisions that impact users and the business, and contributing to overall strategy. What made this journey possible? ✅ Learning the product and business as an SME ✅ Gaining execution and communication skills as a PO ✅ And learning from the JAPM community! From posts and courses to active discussions, the community played an important role in her growth. Thank you for sharing your journey and learnings. 🚀 All the best @Anuradha Patil
