Excited to share that my first week in the Product Management program with #tech4dev, led by Elizabeth Ajao, has been nothing short of enlightening! Elizabeth took us through the intricacies of the entire product lifecycle, delving into technical foundations and the nuances of customer research.

Key takeaways: - Keep your customers close and your competitors closer. - You don't need to be an expert; leverage your existing experience. - Foster a curious mindset. - Grasp basic technical terminology. - Be prepared to question your career decisions subsequently. 😅 #womentechsters #tech4dev #productmanagement

🚀 Excited to Share Week 2 Learnings from the Product Management Fellowship! 🚀 Hello everyone! Reflecting on Week 1 at Growjunction’s Product Management Fellowship, we explored what makes a product—an item or service crafted to meet consumer needs. Product management is about steering the product’s lifecycle to ensure it hits the sweet spot between customer desires and business goals. And revision? That’s where we keep the product fresh and relevant, adapting to feedback and market shifts. 🌟 Now, diving into Week 2, I’m thrilled to share some key concepts that have ignited my passion for product management: Persona 👥: Personas are fictional characters created to represent different user types, helping us truly understand our users' needs, experiences, behaviors, and goals. They’re essential in crafting products that resonate! Product-Market Fit 🎯: Finding that perfect match between product and market is exhilarating! It’s about deeply knowing your customer, pinpointing their pain points, and continuously refining your solution based on feedback. Understanding Empathy Maps 💡: Stepping into our users' shoes is crucial. The empathy map helps us connect with their feelings and challenges, shaping products that truly make a difference. Turning Data into Insights 📊: Data is the new gold, but extracting actionable insights is where the magic happens! Learning to translate raw data into meaningful decisions is a game-changer. Debunking Product Management Myths 🔍: -Myth: Product managers are the "CEO of the product." -Reality: While we have big responsibilities, our real power lies in collaboration and influence, not absolute authority. -Myth: Product managers must be highly technical. -Reality: Technical skills help, but what’s more critical is understanding customers and the market. Key Result Areas (KRAs) 🎯: KRAs define our focus areas with specific, measurable goals. Clarity, alignment with organizational objectives, and regular reviews are key to achieving success! A huge shoutout to our mentor, Kunal Parekh, for your incredible guidance and engaging discussions! Your insights have been invaluable on this journey, and I’m so excited to keep learning and growing in the weeks ahead. 🙌 #GrowJunction #FellowGrowJunction #ProductManagement

As a business enthusiast, my focus lies in user interaction, feedback, customer satisfaction, and continual improvement of the products and services I provide.

Furthermore, I've come to appreciate that tech is a vast field with numerous opportunities, and Product Management, being a non-coding role, aligns perfectly with my strengths in product iteration, development, launching, and management. As a Product Manager, my role centers on understanding customer needs, working on feedback, and consistently improving to add value and ensure product utility. The significance of a Product Manager in a company cannot be overstated, as this role inherently demands skills in project management, flexibility, effective communication, teamwork, and collaboration across all sectors. I approach this chosen path with optimism, anticipating growth through navigating challenges, celebrating successes, learning from setbacks, seeking guidance from experienced mentors, staying updated in the niche, and fostering a culture of continuous learning in this dynamic field. I am excited about the journey ahead and the professional milestones it holds. #15daysofproductcontent #HTTAcohort8 #HertechtrailAcademy

Friday Fuel: The Product Manager's Mantra - "Ship It!" 🚀 As we wrap up another week, let's celebrate the thrill of shipping products and features to our eager users. 🎉 The "ship it" mentality is at the heart of product management. It's about taking action, embracing iteration, and getting our creations out into the world where they can make a difference. 🌎 Here's why shipping is so important: 1️⃣ Validation: Shipping allows us to test our assumptions, gather real-world feedback, and validate (or invalidate) our hypotheses. 🧪 2️⃣ Learning: Every launch is a learning opportunity. We learn what works, what doesn't, and how we can improve. 🧠 3️⃣ Momentum: Shipping creates momentum and excitement, both within our teams and among our users. It keeps us moving forward and pushing boundaries. 🚀 4️⃣ Impact: Ultimately, shipping is about making an impact. It's about delivering value to our users and helping them achieve their goals. ✨ So let's raise a toast to all the product managers out there who are shipping amazing things! 🥂 Keep building, keep iterating, and keep shipping! 💪 What are you shipping this week? Share your wins in the comments below! 👇 #productmanagement #shipit #fridayfuel #launch #success

Hi Everyone, This is the learning from Week 2 of the Fellowship Product Management Program by Growjunction During this session, I gained valuable knowledge about the Product Mindset and the distinctions between Product Management in B2B and B2C contexts. I learned about market analysis, including Porter’s Five Forces, and explored competitive research and its associated tools. The session also delved into user research methods such as surveys, interviews, and contextual inquiries. Additionally, we discussed A/B testing in relation to creating user personas and mapping out user journeys. Furthermore, we reviewed the essential hard and soft skills required to embark on a career as a product manager. Key takeaways include:- 1. Product Lifecycle - Understanding and navigating the chasm is crucial for any product manager in guiding a product from early adoption to widespread market acceptance. 2. A/B Testing - A method used in product management to compare two versions of a product feature or webpage against each other to determine which one performs better in terms of user engagement, conversion rates, or other relevant metrics. 3. Proactive User Research: Involves actively seeking out user feedback and insights before a problem arises or is identified, often to guide the development of new features or products. Reactive User Research: Occurs in response to an existing problem or user feedback, aiming to understand user issues and address them effectively. I'm grateful for the guidance provided by our mentors, Kunal Parekh and Priyank Ahuja. Looking forward to the following weeks of diving deep into creating a product from scratch. #Growjunction #fellowgrowjunction #productmanagement

🚀 Cheers to 6 Months, 1 Week, and 4 Days as an Associate Product Manager! 🎢 What a wild ride it's been! From exhilarating highs to some serious brain-bending lows, I’ve been on a constant loop of unlearning and relearning. Here are some of the gems of wisdom I’ve picked up along the way: Big League Step: Transitioning to Product Management is like jumping on a roller coaster when you're used to the carousel. Hold on tight! 🎢 Every Day’s a School Day: Engaging with engineers, data geeks, and product designers means I’m always learning—my knowledge base is a never-ending buffet! Team Juggling Act: Managing a team is like walking a tightrope—you have to be friendly but not overly familiar. Empathy? Absolutely! But remember, deadlines wait for no one! 🤹♂️ Question Everything: No question is “dumb.” Seriously! If you're confused, just ask! You’ll find that curiosity is the best way to level up your skills. 🤔 Attention to Detail is Key: I thought I was a detail ninja, but PMing has taken my skills from basic to black belt level! 🥋 Work-Life Balance: Find it or risk living at the office (not recommended!). Your personal life will thank you! ⚖️ Stomach for Criticism: Get ready; feedback can sting sometimes! Rather than being discouraged, embrace it—it’s an opportunity to refine your ideas and unleash your creativity! ✨ Push Back When Necessary: Every product is your "baby." If you think an idea’s not right, don’t be afraid to speak up! 👶 Find Your PM Tribe: As a wise colleague once said, “The best ideas come from your community.” So, build your network and share those brainwaves! 🧠💡 Enjoy the Ride: Seriously, having fun with your PM journey makes all the challenges way easier to tackle! Here’s to more insights, collaboration, and of course, a few more ups and downs! Cheers to the wild ride ahead! 🥂 #ProductManagement #LearningJourney #CareerGrowth
