What Is the Difference Between Project Management and Product Management?
TL;DR: Project Management owns the "how" and "when" of delivery; Product Management owns the "what" and "why" of the product.
Project Management focuses on delivering defined outcomes—on time, on budget, and within scope. Product Management focuses on defining what to build and why, based on customer needs and business strategy. Both roles collaborate closely in product organizations.
