AccPM Poll Results: Who gets more respect where you work Product Managers or Project Managers?

[poll id=”9″]

The question this past week was “Who gets more respect where you work Product Managers or Project Managers?

It was a light week and in the end, it ended up being a dead heat. However, there’s something to be learned here: this clearly is not a hot topic. I must confess to being just a little surprised by this.

As a working product manager,  I can confess to always having been just a bit jealous of my project management brothers and sisters. They seem to have their act together just a bit more than we do.

Additionaly, everyone seems to know and understand just exactly what a project manager does. The same can’t be said for the profession of product manager!

This week’s poll question: “Do You Know Who Your Product’s Competition Is?” It should be a simple question, but these things never are…

Visit the blog, vote, and we’ll talk about the results next week!

P.S.: New Feature: I’ve come up with some real stinker poll questions lately and so I now know that I need your help! Drop by The Accidental Product Manager forum and suggest a question for next week. You just might become famous…!
