Product Weekend’s Post

Unlocking Product Value is a Marathon, not a Sprint. A recent experience reminded me of this very critical product principle - good products continue to provide value over time. Here's the story. During the Brand30 challenge, Justin Grabowski, a fellow participant, designed a "cohort support roster" on Notion. I thought it was cool, and I used it every now and then to support my cohort. Given our regular posting, and LinkedIn's algorithm showing me my cohort's updates, the roster wasn't part of my daily routine. Fast forward to today, since the program is over, I’m not posting every single day. I find myself looking for that roster so that I can see what my group has been writing about. So, what are my findings here? 🚀 Great products and features don't just shine at launch. Their glow endures, providing value well into the future. ❗ A product’s value can be impacted dramatically due to external circumstances. It raises two compelling questions for fellow product leaders: Are you tracking usage & value of features well beyond the launch? More importantly, are you aware of how your customers' environments are changing, and the impact that has on your product? As we ponder these thoughts, here's to Justin Grabowski for his forward looking outlook! #productmanagement #customerexperience

I'm still on a high from all the incredible content at yesterday's #LennyAndFriends Product Summit. Ebi Atawodi's talk on "Crafting a compelling product vision" was 🔥 and included a number of great anecdotes and execution techniques. I'm especially enamored with one of her tactics on ensuring team alignment right before starting on a new initiative. Gather the team into a room and hand them a printed form (yes, on actual paper), asking them to fill out: 🎯 Target user 🗣️ User need 📇 Product name 🔑 Key benefit 🦹 Competitor ➕ Differentiator Then gather and go over with the team. Are you aligned? This is your chance to avoid "ready, fire, aim." #product #productmanagement #teamdynamics #productexecution #productdevelopment

Here are my key takeaways from Week 2 of the Fellowship Product Management Program by Growjunction : **Topic: User Research, Market Research, and Product Types** **Valuable Learnings:** 1. **Product Management Process:** - We explored the stages from ideation to launch, covering market research, strategy development, planning, execution, and evaluation. This framework ensures comprehensive product development and reduces the risk of oversights. 2. **User Research:** - Focused on gathering and analyzing data on user needs, preferences, and pain points using surveys, interviews, and usability testing. Effective user research helps create products that satisfy and retain users. 3. **SWOT Analysis:** - Learned to identify a product's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. This strategic tool aids in making informed decisions by evaluating internal and external factors, helping to leverage strengths, mitigate weaknesses, seize opportunities, and defend against threats. These insights are essential for effective product management and decision-making. Thanks to Growjunction and mentor Ishaan Anand anand anand for the excellent session. Excited for the next one! #Growjunction #fellowgrowjunction #productmanagment

Here are my top three takeaways on Product Discovery from the second week of our PM cohort at Product Space!! What is Product Discovery? It is simply finding and confirming good ideas for new products or features. It is a crucial first step used by Product Managers to understand what customers want, see what's happening in the market, and find ways to make their product better or create new ones. Here’s a quick breakdown of its key goals: 1️⃣ Understand User Needs • Identify Pain Points: What challenges do users face? • Observe behaviours: How are they solving problems today? 2️⃣ Validate Solutions • Address Meaningful Problems: Are we solving something that matters? • Ensure Solution Fit: Does our idea align with real user needs? 3️⃣ Reduce Risk • Minimise Waste: Focus resources on what creates value. • Prioritise Impact: Drive initiatives that matter for both users and the business. Remember: A solid product discovery process isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in building the right product, the right way. 💬 What’s your biggest takeaway about Product Discovery? Let’s discuss in the comments! #ProductDiscovery #Innovation #UserExperience #Growth #ProductManagement
