Polite but revealing questions to ask in a PM job interview to understand culture and fit (and their literal translations…). A thread 🧵 #prodmgmt

Guess I finally found a way to explain my job to my relatives.. "I'm the mayor of website xyz" 😅 In earnest - love the analogy, so fitting!

This 👇! 10x more important then any product framework or latest discocery methodology if you really want to make an impact as product person.

I think the primary lesson of this piece is that it's still possible to innovate even if you're in a feature factory. And by feature factory I mean an organisation where people outside the product team dictate what the product team works on.

Sharing a brief memo I wrote for a founder in response to this question: What is product management? Product management is the art, science, and practice of making successful products and making products successful. (1/12)

Product Management is just saying “let’s take a step back, what are we really trying to achieve here” every day until you die.

We have two #1 priorities.

Our last ProductTank Amsterdam meetup of 2022. 😍 We are talking about using data in products.

We are happy to invite you to our next meetup on January 17th. We will talk about how products people love are built on experimentation - trying out small changes at scale, failing fast, failing often, and using insights to learn and optimize. Join us: meetup.com/producttank-am…

Helen Tran The mindset there are roles is often what sets teams back. There are no roles. There are skills. Design skills. PM skills. Anyone can have skills. There are responsibilities. A team can decide who will do what in the moment. Focus on skills and responsibilities. Not roles.

Product management is predictive psychology + technical execution. All of our little frameworks are attempts to create structure and repeatability in that process. But it usually comes down to - what do people want - what has value I can capture - can I make it happen

The one, the only, the Casey Winters returns to the podcast for some real talk: ➔ Zero interest rate phenomenon PMs ➔ Avoiding overreliance on user research ➔ The future of PM alongside AI ➔ Founder intuition vs team expertise ➔ Interviewing advice ➔ The pain of the CPO role

Yes - so looking forward to this!! Thank you for putting this topic on a platform Adam Fishman! Going right to the top of my listening queue

Deutschland ist, wenn man sich einredet, dass Freibäder unbegehbare Kampfzonen wären, die man nur mit Polizeischutz betreten könne, aber aktive Kriegsgebiete zu „sicheren Herkunftsländern“ deklariert werden aus denen niemand flüchten müsse

Thank you for coming out to AMS - was a fabulous talk and a fantastic evening for the product community!
