Attending Online the Product School event #productcon Joe Futty: Changing the paradigm from "Users are tasked to learn how to use our systems." to "system that understands the users in their natural language". Fabrice des Mazery "Get the skin in the game, the stakeholders don't need to "understand" they need to live it." know and respect "Your own level of risk tolerance" "Product teams and stakeholders should act like owners by taking responsibility for the effective use of resources and seeking maximum returns of the investments" #productcon #productmanagement

#Day16 of the #3week_product_build_challenge was all about Rework You know that feeling when the developer completes building everything after a many days of efforts and then the tester comes up with a few bugs due to which now the developer has to again redo everything from scratch with a different approach? That's exactly what happened today with me Starting off from where I let off yesterday, I was very confident that I'll be done by today afternoon, which I almost was. I had a basic structure of the overall app ready by late afternoon. But during testing, I found 2 key issues - 1. Some buttons could not accommodate a few MCQ answers due to it's length constraints, which meant that I had to change the fundamental design of the overall app 2. The database structure that I had was a bit inefficient, trying to strike a balance between the amount of work needed (Time) vs No.of updates that can be done for free (Cost) vs the knowledge of knowing what to do when (Expertise). I got stuck in many places without a path forward and again had to start things from scratch (a couple of times). This was when I truly understood the power of Hands-on learning. While I spent a good amount of time trying to understand everything about the app yesterday, there were many scenarios which I couldn't handle or know what to do next. Seeing those tutorial videos at that point was a complete eye-opener for me, I started understanding and learning things from a different lens all together. Going by the trajectory of it, I've planned to remove the game development from the product roadmap and instead I'm planning on just getting everything done with the basic functionalities and position it as the Duolingo of Product management.

Launch Week - Day 5 🚀📅 Examples are an incredible way to explore a product. I find myself navigating to examples first and then working my way back up to top-level messaging and docs when first learning about a product. We built out an example framework early on at Dopt, and they've been amazing at showcasing how Dopt can help you build best-in-class product onboarding and education experiences. Recently, we've come back at our examples with fresh eyes and added some awesome improvements, like: 🧑💻 Forkable CodeSandbox environments 🗄️ Filter by category, like technology or component 🌅 Flow previews to better understand how the example is powered by Dopt Check them out here https://lnkd.in/gtMnq-Hf

Reviewing my product from early 2022 as a student who participated in a hackathon and won 1st place, I realize I've failed in key areas. 🏆 Let me explain how: 1. Lack of Proper Market Research: I relied on self-assumptions without conducting thorough market research. 2.Neglecting Backend Operations: There's no seamless backend operation; relying on a single person to upload new videos is inefficient and leads to a growing number of video files, impacting the storage system. 3. Addressing Temporary Pain Points: The project only addresses temporary issues without proper long-term planning. 🤔 To improve as a product manager 1. Conduct thorough market research 🌐 to replace assumptions with data-driven insights. 2. Strengthen backend operations ⚙️ for seamless video uploads, ensuring scalability for a growing file system. 3. Address long-term challenges by implementing strategic planning 📊 to solve lasting pain points.

Hi all, it’s been too long since we’ve had the Product Flow Meetup. We’re doing an informal Happy Hour Thursday, May 30th at The Brass Tap. Hope to see you all there! Kristie Presten Rosana (Ro) JohnsonDanny Presten Josh Kite #agile #Product #flow #Flowframework #agility #DevOps

When done right, launches can be a source of enjoyment rather than chaos. 🚀 Join our live tutorial on Thursday, Feb. 29 at 10 a.m. PT to learn how to lead a successful launch -> https://bit.ly/3I5AMM3 #ProductManagement #ProductLaunch

I’m sharing three things that boosted kommit’s efficiency over the last year. Efficiency is always an open question for every company. I can envision fellow company leaders mentally asking: How can we get the best with the least? I hope they inspire company leaders to develop their own efficiency-booster activities. Check out three that have worked for us at kommit. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - → I'm the founder of kommit → We service accountable software engineering for other companies. → I write about the lessons I learned while developing a company from scratch.

On my way to ProductCon in London by Product School! 🚀Thrilled to be joining an event with top product leaders from leading tech companies. Ready to soak up all the insights and tactics on developing the next-gen software products. If you are also attending would be great to say hello! 👋 #ProductCon #London #ProductLeadership #productmanagement

#Day21 of the #3week_product_build_challenge was all about completing the V0.3 build And I did! The last day of the challenge is here, and I couldn't be more happy about the progress I've made the last 3 weeks. While it was extremely exhaustive (140+ hrs a week (I'm not even kidding - people who know me, know this 😅)), I loved the entire journey. I'll make a detailed post about this tomorrow. But for now, the development work for V0.3 is done and it's all set to be launched at Masters' Union tomorrow. I'm extremely grateful for the support I received from Naveen, head of PM club at MU, to have been entirely accommodating with my requests. Talking about the new changes in V0.3, 1. Improved the User experience for taking the Quiz 2. Integrated the Learning path into the user flow of taking the Quiz 3. Created Prodmentor Chatbot using ChatGPT which will help users a. Learn in depth / clear doubts about any PM concept b. Help prepare for attending PM interviews c. Provide real-life case studies across different industries to help PMs stay in touch with their Product sense d. Assist PMs towards building a product Had anyone asked me are you sure you'll be able to build a product in just 3 weeks? My answer would've been I don't know. But I was comfortable with that ambiguity and sailed the course successfully towards the finish line with consistency and taking one step at a time. While my plan was to build MVP by Week 1, Beta by Week 2 and Final product by Week 3, in actual, the first week went entirely for the discovery phase, the 2nd week was filled with MVP failures and just in the 3rd week, I went on the Extreme Agile mode and managed to complete a sprint and release a version once in 2 days! (in contrast to once in 2 weeks!). 3 Versions in 6 days is something literally CRAZY! and I wouldn't have ever dreamt of it. It was an incredible roller coaster ride indeed! An exciting day awaits!

The journey from project to product mindset isn’t just about philosophical shifts; it’s about avoiding the pitfalls of tech debt and project nightmares. 🚨 Let's discuss how a product mindset fosters a culture of excellence, preventing the spaghetti code that plagues teams stuck in a project-oriented approach. Your team's future codebase will thank you! #TechExcellence #ProductMindset #CodeQuality https://hubs.ly/Q02lvvvY0
