Current skill set: SAS Little python/R Tableau Power BI Excel Current role has moved beyond traditional data analyst role, pivoted more towards creating slide decks for clients to provide revenue generated actionable insights of data I pulled and visualize.

Once metrics they would like to consistently see are established is when I usually start working with developers. Don’t have my MBA, so feel I am at a disadvantage. What other tools can I add to my resume in order to inc my chances of landing a PM role. Don’t want to get my MBA or attend Product School
Talk to your PMs and their directors. If your PMs at your company won’t give you projects to assist with to give you experience, identify a customer problem and design a solution (app/website) that addresses it on your own time or co-found with someone who has a great idea. There’s a bunch of books on Amazon and online resources like LinkedIn to get you started.
