The Covid-19 pandemic is for sure gonna be “the” most defining moment of most of our lives. It has forced us to change/rethink every big and small aspect of our life. However, here i am just gonna focus on how Covid-19 has permanently changed the course of Product Management.

Work From Home

This is one of the biggest impact Covid-19 has made on almost every business and profession across the world. Pre Covid there was more or less a general consensus that work from home decreases productivity. Many companies as a policy didn’t even allowed work from home for its employees.

However, due to Covid-19 and the worldwide lockdowns that followed, companies were forced to allow extended work from home policy.

And just like that, the myth got busted. Companies realized that there is no significant impact on productivity due to work from home. This was even more prominent in the Tech domain and as a result, some companies like Twitter and Slack have even gone ahead with the bold move of permanent work from home.
