Back in 2021, I did a talk at the internal Product Craft conference at Atlassian on the topic of scaling up as an individual contributor (IC) Product Manager. I repurposed the contents of that talk to share outside Atlassian in the form of a blog post on the Atlassian Product Craft blog.

Here are the main points I covered in that blog post.

1. Prioritise prioritising your own energy
2. Clarify roles and responsibilities
3. Handle interruptions better
4. Do it your way — it’s your own journey

There’s a fun bonus at the end of the blog post. You can read the full post here – https://medium.com/atlassian-product-management-blog/4-ways-you-can-scale-up-as-an-individual-contributor-product-manager-with-real-life-examples-plus-c8ad0a45ab7

I’d also strongly recommend you check out the other posts by my Atlassian colleagues on the Atlassian Product Craft blog. There’s a lot of emphasis and investment in growing the PM Craft at Atlassian and I’m sure you’ll find some content that’s useful and relevant for you on that blog.
