How Product Management works in SkillScorer

Score

Each employee in a department is scored on the Product Management skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.

Compare

Rank employees, compare two side by side, or compare your departments against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.

Track

Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Product Management skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's department.

Product Management scorecard: common questions

What skills does the Product Management scorecard include?

SkillScorer's Product Management scorecard covers 12 skills: Customer Discovery, Product Vision and Strategy, Roadmap Prioritisation, Requirements and Backlog Management, Data and Metrics, Stakeholder Alignment, Go-to-Market Planning, Competitive and Market Analysis, Working with Engineering, Experimentation, Communication and Storytelling and Ownership and Accountability. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.

How are employees scored in Product Management?

Every employee is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one department and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.

Which levels come with Product Management?

Product Management starts with these levels (called “Grade” in the app): Associate Product Manager, Product Manager, Senior Product Manager, Group Product Manager and Head of Product. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.

Can I change the Product Management skills and wording?

Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In corporate the app talks about employees, departments and team leaders, and you can change any of those words too.
