Successful Product Managers help their organizations identify and build products that solve their users’ needs. The perfect user-product fit is rarely easy. Trained Product Managers can find the right fit consistently with User Science–the craft of understanding user needs; identifying which problem to solve, and user behaviors; understanding how and why users react to products. It's this craft that arms Product Managers with the data to make informed decisions. 

Michael Sparks started his professional career five years ago as a Product Manager at a startup in San Francisco.

Michael is passionate about observing users with a “beginner’s mind” and believes that great Product Managers think of the customer as their boss.
