A PM is the top person in charge of a project, primarily handling schedule setting, progress management, and negotiation and coordination with clients and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The difference between PdM and PM lies in the subject and scope of responsibility.<\/strong><br>\nA PdM is responsible for the overall product (goods\/services). Therefore, they bear responsibility for all product-related tasks, from planning to meet client needs, through quality management and growth strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A PM, on the other hand, is responsible for the project involved in developing and selling the product. They are accountable for the project itself \u2014 including the development schedule, progress management, business process design, and resource allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3\">Difference Between PdM and PO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PdM is also sometimes confused with &#8220;PO.&#8221;<br>\nPO stands for Product Owner, and refers to <strong>the person responsible for actual product development and implementation<\/strong> \u2014 essentially the leader on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PdM holds responsibility for upstream processes such as product planning and strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the PO takes charge of the actual development process in accordance with design specifications, working in downstream processes closer to the development floor. Their job is to manage the features the product should have and the specific content to be implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4\">Difference Between PdM and PMM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a role called &#8220;PMM&#8221; that sounds similar to PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PMM stands for Product Marketing Manager, and is <strong>the person responsible for the business aspects of a product (sales, marketing, etc.)<\/strong>. While a PdM is involved in both the development and business sides of a product, a PMM is a specialist responsible solely for the business domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because a PdM makes decisions as the person responsible for all areas related to the product, their scope is very broad. For this reason, a PMM can be seen as a position established to help reduce the workload of the PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\"

They <strong>conduct preliminary research and analysis of market trends and needs, then plan new products or features to implement<\/strong>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, they also conduct interviews with clients to understand their intentions and needs, and while taking into account management policies and branding, aim to plan the most optimal product concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-8\">Product Strategy Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After product planning, the PdM <strong>designs a concrete strategy covering everything from development to sales and performance measurement<\/strong>, breaking it down into a more detailed plan. Specifically, this includes defining the purpose and direction of product development, setting KPIs, establishing project schedules, identifying tasks, and allocating resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also design strategies for the business side of the product, such as sales and marketing. Furthermore, at this stage they design not only the strategy from development to sales, but also the product roadmap, including planned future feature additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-9\">Product Execution Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the product development project, <strong>managing daily progress, improving operations, and facilitating smooth communication with the team<\/strong> are also part of the PdM&#8217;s responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While negotiating with clients and external stakeholders, they work toward releasing a better product. During the project, they also regularly evaluate and review KPIs, and when necessary, formulate strategies to achieve targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-10\">Product Performance Verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After actually releasing the product, the PdM also carries out <strong>performance verification of the implemented features<\/strong>. Based on feedback from product users and usage data, they identify any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If issues are found, formulating effective strategies for improvement \u2014 such as considering additional measures \u2014 is also part of the PdM&#8217;s job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, a PdM&#8217;s work does not end with the development and release of a new product. They are expected to continually make improvements so that the product continues to create long-term value in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsID=\"2389\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center u-mb-0 u-mb-ctrl\" style=\"line-height:2\"><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-s\">\uff3c \u8ee2\u8077\u30a8\u30fc\u30b8\u30a7\u30f3\u30c8\u304c\u3054\u76f8\u8ac7\u306b\u4e57\u308a\u307e\u3059 \uff0f<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-button green_ -size-l is-style-btn_normal\" style=\"--the-fz:1.25em\"><a href=\"\/consulnext\/registration\/\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\"><span>\u7121\u6599\u8ee2\u8077\u76f8\u8ac7\u306b\u7533\u8fbc\u3080<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-11\">Average Salary of a PdM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited-1600x900.jpg\" alt=\"Stacked coins and a red question mark\" class=\"wp-image-3175\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover;width:1600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/iStock-1292807966-edited.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering, &#8220;How much does a PdM earn?&#8221; or &#8220;Is it really a high-paying role?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Average salary data for PdMs is not publicly available and is thought to vary depending on the company and industry. Additionally, PdM salaries are said to be on par with the similar role of PM (Project Manager).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a survey published by doda in 2025, <strong>the average annual salary for PMs overall is 7.07 million yen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, according to the National Tax Agency&#8217;s &#8220;FY2024 Survey on Private Sector Wage Statistics,&#8221; the average salary for general workers in Japan is 4.78 million yen. This shows that <strong>PdM salaries are at a higher level compared to Japan&#8217;s average annual salary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking to earn a high salary in the IT industry or in a

To release a more valuable product and lead the project to success, PdMs are required to have strong management skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop management skills, <strong>you will need to consistently sharpen your communication abilities and leadership on a daily basis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-14\">Business Management Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PdMs also need knowledge and skills related to business management. Product development frequently involves situations that require <strong>interviewing executives, making proposals, and negotiating with management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to incorporate input from both the front lines and management in a balanced way and advance the project efficiently, you need to have a managerial perspective and mindset. For this reason, if you are aiming to become a PdM, <strong>it is beneficial to study knowledge such as accounting and legal affairs \u2014 necessary for business management \u2014 and to gain practical experience in areas such as corporate management consulting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-15\">Industry Knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to effectively plan, develop, release, and measure the performance of a product as a PdM, <strong>deep expertise in the industry your company or clients belong to is essential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be expected to understand the industry from every angle \u2014 including its characteristics and future prospects \u2014 and have the ability to create products that meet high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deepen your industry knowledge, <strong>it is important to maintain a proactive attitude toward keeping up with trends, developments, and related topics on a daily basis<\/strong>. Make use of every available resource \u2014 newspapers, news, books \u2014 to gather information and build your knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-16\">Marketing Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing skills are also required of PdMs. Because a PdM&#8217;s responsibilities are wide-ranging, <strong>there are many situations where they are involved not only in product development and implementation, but also in sales and marketing domains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a valuable product, market and trend research, customer needs analysis, persona setting to determine the product&#8217;s target audience, and competitive research are all indispensable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <strong>formulating a strategy for how to reach customers with the developed product and expand sales<\/strong> is also necessary. Sharpen your ability to constantly gather the latest trends and information, your analytical skills based on surveys and data, and your logical and hypothesis-driven thinking to strengthen your marketing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-17\">System Development Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A PdM needs not only management and marketing knowledge, but also technical skills such as system development. In product development, operation, and improvement, PdMs are expected to <strong>formulate strategies using their own technical abilities and development knowledge and skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, resource allocation, schedule management, and countermeasures for anticipated issues in development projects are often carried out based on the PdM&#8217;s own development experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aspire to become a PdM, <strong>actually participating in product development projects and gaining hands-on experience is essential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-18\">Design Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing a valuable product also requires <strong>design skills with an awareness of UI\/UX in the system<\/strong>.

criticism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this section to understand in advance whether you are suited for PdM, or what skills you may be lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-25\">People Who Struggle with Multitasking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People who are not good at multitasking are likely not well-suited to PdM. A PdM is <strong>always managing multiple tasks at once, and is required to have the ability to oversee the whole picture so the project can proceed smoothly<\/strong>. As a result, those who are poor at multitasking may feel significant stress when trying to handle several things at the same time or adapting flexibly to changing circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in product development, it is necessary to simultaneously consider not only technical aspects, but also marketing and customer needs analysis. Because handling tasks from different domains simultaneously is required, high task management and schedule management capabilities are demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who struggle with multitasking are likely to find it difficult to carry these out smoothly, and may not be well suited to PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-26\">People Who Are Not Interested in the Market or Customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People who cannot find interest in the market or the business of customers related to the product are likely not suited to PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PdMs are <strong>required to develop products in line with the market and respond to customer needs<\/strong>. People who are not interested in the market or customers will likely find it difficult to be proactive in analyzing trends and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, there is a high possibility that they will be unable to smoothly formulate strategies and make decisions necessary for product development, and may be unable to fulfill the PdM role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when developing and implementing product features or services, issues such as being unable to take market and customer needs into consideration, or failing to release at the appropriate time, can arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aspire to become a PdM, having a sense of curiosity and a desire to explore the market and customers related to your product \u2014 and bringing that spirit to your development work \u2014 is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-27\">People Who Dislike Trial-and-Error Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People who dislike trial-and-error work may also not be suited to PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PdMs are <strong>constantly required to plan and execute new ideas and strategies, and to make improvements as needed<\/strong>. People who dislike trial-and-error work often resist actively incorporating new ideas, or may be unable to act due to fear of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, competition between companies in the product space has intensified with the innovation and advancement of IT technology. People who cannot actively execute new strategies, or who feel stressed by change, may find it difficult to improve a product&#8217;s innovation and competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, people who dislike trial-and-error work are generally not well-suited to PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-28\">People with Low Tolerance for Criticism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People with low tolerance for criticism, or who have an aversion to feedback and opinions from others, may not be well suited to PdM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A PdM is the overall person responsible for the product, and is in a position of interacting with various stakeholders \u2014 including project team members and customers. As a result, <strong>there will inevitably be situations where voices of criticism arise in response to the conclusions and judgments a PdM makes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with low tolerance for criticism may be unable to accept feedback from those around them and may sustain emotional damage. As a result, this could affect the product&#8217;s success \u2014 for example, by being unable to make correct decisions, or failing to smoothly execute necessary strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PdMs are required to have <strong>the strength of will and logical backing to make judgments and take action \u2014 even in the face of criticism from those around them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsID=\"2389\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center u-mb-0 u-mb-ctrl\" style=\"line-height:2\"><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-s\">\uff3c \u8ee2\u8077\u30a8\u30fc\u30b8\u30a7\u30f3\u30c8\u304c\u3054\u76f8\u8ac7\u306b\u4e57\u308a\u307e\u3059 \uff0f<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-button green_ -size-l is-style-btn_normal\" style=\"--the-fz:1.25em\"><a href=\"\/consulnext\/registration\/\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\"><span>\u7121\u6599\u8ee2\u8077\u76f8\u8ac7\u306b\u7533\u8fbc\u3080<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-29\">Does the PdM Role Have Strong Future Prospects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1120\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pixta_93058210_XL.jpg\" alt=\"Looking up at skyscrapers from below\" class=\"wp-image-3207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pixta_93058210_XL.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pixta_93058210_XL-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pixta_93058210_XL-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mirai-works.co.jp\/consulnext\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pixta_93058210_XL-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since PdM is a relatively new role, many people may be wondering &#8220;Is there a future in it?&#8221; or &#8220;Is there demand for it?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is that <strong>the future prospects for PdM are strong, and demand is expected to continue growing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the advancement of IT technology, the number of companies seeking business growth through product development is on the rise.
