This function is more hands-on as a member of the product team and entails taking some minor ownership of the product for those who can tell the difference.
The following are some of the junior product manager’s responsibilities:
• User input is being gathered.
• Defining features, stories of user & acceptance of the user with developers.
• Collaborating with the product team to create a unified product vision.
