> What trends do you see in product management? positive trends? any negative trends?

Agile and lean organization product managers are getting good at dealing with ambiguity and are open to unknown situations. This still isn’t the whole of product roles however. I think as a product needs to exist in the community of the world this is just going to be a bigger and bigger part of the daily job. Old command and control systems will be less and less likely to work.

This a very good thing, but there will be a lot of pain for people that expect things to go as planned or the way they want them to. Those people will fail.

> What new skill should I be honing right now to get ready for the future?

Get great at doing research and customer development. If you aren’t used to talk with people and doing research for your product you are more likely to just be a project manager. I would say that getting great at research, really any/all types, is a key skill as the industry moves forward.

Product design is a term that shows the movement of traditional UI/UX roles thinking more about the entire product. Working with these people will be through the research that they do.
