If you want to be a bad product manager, confuse product management with project management. The words are so close because the two concepts are so similar. Product managers should manage projects since they need to ensure that the projects get done. They’re both management roles (right?) so the skills and experience are virtually the same. Project managers just get in the way and try to take control of the project away from the product manager.

It is interesting. But I always thought that project management was much more than product (it included human aspects as well). Or are we thinking robot-like?

In delivarables (as per ISO) services, project is also a product.

Abs common sense and loads of Ah-what-was-I-thinking phases for all those who classify both roles as being generic PMs.
