Product Managers and Aspiring Product Managers 👇

Heads up Aspiring Product Managers 👇 There will be x amount of information that you'll be given during your role transition. The information could be 👇 👉 Documentation 👉 Recordings 👉 Courses 👉 Handbooks Trust me, consuming all this could be overwhelming. Soon you'll find everything in a queue with no time to go over even a single one. This could easily misalign you towards achieving your goal to successfully becoming a Product Manager. How to get passed it ? 👇 Let it all come in. For now, just focus on getting all the information. But how to manage this much information 👇 👉 Stay organised. 👉 Bookmark information. Keep bookmarks in folders and sub folders. 👉 Make a work contact list of your stakeholders. 👉 Book some focus time in your calendar to go over the information 1 by 1.

10 things I learnt from my last 5 years in Product Management 👇 1️⃣ Missed opportunity is more destructive than taking a risk. 2️⃣ Remember your success stories and lessons from mistakes; they'll be interview questions in the future. 3️⃣ What and Why are most important. How is easy to figure out. 4️⃣ Aim for continuous improvement, not perfection. You'll get frequent results. 5️⃣ No matter your background, you bring value when you transition into Product Management. 6️⃣ Know your product at the back of your hand. 7️⃣ Empathy will bring closer to your users and team. Always carry it. 8️⃣ Communication is most important for Product Manager. 9️⃣ Listening is not a courtesy but a catalyst for meaningful conversation. 🔟 Data matters, guesses don't.
