Product Owner — Ravi Sandhu
Stories of getting started in product management
As part of our Getting Started in Product series, we look at some people who have already made the transition into a product role and ask them all about how they got started.
What’s your current role?
I’m a Product Owner for HM Revenue & Customs in the UK.
What did you do before you got into Product Management?
I was a software engineer for a number of years, first for the logistics company DPD, and then for Cap Gemini and Bank of America.
How did you get your first product role?
I transitioned from another role within the organisation I was in.
What was your biggest challenge when you started in product management?
Having the time to do everything that needs to be done is the biggest challenge.
I mention this to all other new product people within the business and everyone agrees. How do we find the time to do everything the role entails?
