Everyone always says “hardware is hard.”

Silicon Valley was founded on hardware companies… and good software is impossible without sound hardware to power it.

When we use our iPhones and iPads today, we don’t even think about it – companies like Apple have simplified the complexities down where the intersection between hardware and software is indiscernible (as it should be).

As the Product Manager, you’re at the nexus of these decisions. And because you are touching both the hardware and software, each decision can have cascading effects on your users. It’s taught me to think more critically about user experience, explore new ways of conducting user research, and become a better Product Manager.

Main Takeaways:

* Dealing with multiple mediums makes you exercise your versatility as a Product Manager.
* You will learn both the pain of how a bad decision may impact a customer multiple levels down, as well as how a good foundational decision can save you indefinitely.
* Seeing the intersection of hardware and software allows you as a Product Manager to connect the dots between the full user journey.
* Focus on your strengths
